This is actually a Track Re-laying machine and can lift pre-assembled rail panels upto 39 metres long.It itself runs on a pair of temporary rails laid along the track alignment and places the rail panel on a prepared ballast bed.It can be used to lay new railway lines or for the renewal of long track sections.Even in this picture it has lifted only the top rail panel.It can be used to lift rail panels off a stack of panels or BFR wagons.
