There are rail lifting tools (22) at the front of the machine followed by a chain excavator (14) with ballast thrown from an exit opening (15) onto conveyer belts (16) leading to a hopper (18) near the rear of the machine. New sleepers (6) are stored on a conveyer belt (13) leading to a sleeper replacement module (27). There is a sleeper changing tool (10) with a clamp (11) removing old sleepers and attaching new ones to the rails. Ballast is then replaced from the hopper.
