Abstract (en)
A drive unit (22) for propelling a rail vehicle (10) along a track includes a pair of drive wheels (24) for engaging the track. The drive wheels (24) are mounted on arms (26) which may be pivoted between a position in which the wheels (24) are in driving engagement with the track and a position in which the wheels are out of driving engagement with the track. The drive unit (22) may thus be used to selectively drive the vehicle in a self propelled manner. The drive unit (22) may be folded out of the way when the vehicle is to be propelled by a separate unit. <IMAGE>
