Abstract

A railway transport for equipment with a blade includes: a drive motor configured to receive drive power from the equipment; an axle attached to the drive motor such that the drive motor can turn the axle; first railway wheels at ends of the axle that can be driven by the drive motor; and a frame across the axle and having a first end on one side of the axle and a second end on an other side of the axle, wherein the first end of the frame has a configuration to retain the blade of the equipment.

Claims

1. A railway transport for equipment with a blade, comprising:

a drive motor configured to receive drive power from the equipment;

an axle attached to the drive motor such that the drive motor can turn the axle;

first railway wheels at ends of the axle that can be driven by the drive motor; and

a frame across the axle and having a first end on one side of the axle and a second end on an other side of the axle,

wherein the first end of the frame has a configuration to retain the blade of the equipment.

2. The railway transport of claim 1, wherein the configuration to retain the blade includes a recess at the first end of the frame.

3. The railway transport of claim 1, wherein the configuration to retain the blade includes a lip at the first end of the frame.

4. The railway transport of claim 3, wherein the configuration to retain the blade includes a recess at the first end of the frame.

5. The railway transport of claim 1, wherein the drive motor is a hydraulic motor and the drive power is high pressure hydraulic fluid from the equipment.

6. The railway transport of claim 1, further comprising a brake system mounted on the frame for applying brakes to the first railway wheels.

7. The railway transport of claim 1, wherein the brake system is configured to receive high pressure hydraulic fluid from the equipment.

8. The railway transport of claim 1, further comprising a loop at the first end of the frame for positioning the railway transport off of and on to railroad tracks.

9. A system of railway transport for equipment with a blade, comprising:

a drive device including;

a drive motor configured to receive drive power from the equipment;

an axle attached to the drive motor such that the drive motor can turn the axle;

first railway wheels at ends of the axle that can be driven by the drive motor; and

a frame across the axle and having a first end on one side of the axle and a second end on an other side of the axle, wherein the first end of the first frame has a configuration to retain the blade of the equipment; and

a drop-down device including;

a second frame having a first end for hinged attachment to the equipment, second railway wheels at a second end of the second frame;

and a mechanism for locking the second frame into a position with respect to the equipment in a middle section of the second frame.

10. The system of railway transport of claim 9, wherein the configuration to retain the blade includes a recess at the first end of the first frame.

11. The system of railway transport of claim 9, wherein the configuration to retain the blade includes a lip at the first end of the first frame.

12. The system of railway transport of claim 11, wherein the configuration to retain the blade includes a recess at the first end of the first frame.

13. The system of railway transport of claim 9, wherein the drive motor is a hydraulic motor and the drive power is high pressure hydraulic fluid from the equipment.

14. The system of railway transport of claim 9, further comprising a brake system mounted on the first frame for applying brakes to the first railway wheels.

15. A system of railway transport for tracked equipment with a blade, comprising:

a drive device including;

a drive motor configured to receive drive power from the equipment;

an axle attached to the drive motor such that the drive motor can turn the axle;

first railway wheels at ends of the axle that can be driven by the drive motor; and

a frame across the axle and having a first end on one side of the axle and a second end on an other side of the axle, wherein the first end of the first frame has a configuration to retain the blade of the equipment; and

a ride device including;

a second frame;

second railway wheels of second size attached to the second frame; and

track platforms at ends of the second frame.

16. The system of railway transport of claim 15 wherein the configuration to retain the blade includes a recess at the first end of the first frame.

17. The system of railway transport of claim 15, wherein the configuration to retain the blade includes a lip at the first end of the first frame.

18. The system of railway transport of claim 17, wherein the configuration to retain the blade includes a recess at the first end of the first frame.

19. The system of railway transport of claim 15, wherein the drive motor is a hydraulic motor and the drive power is high pressure hydraulic fluid from the equipment.

20. The system of railway transport of claim 15, further comprising a brake system mounted on the first frame for applying brakes to the first railway wheels.
