PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle for sand sprinkling and a sand sprinkling method which effectively prevent idling of wheels of a railway vehicle caused by leaves or the like fallen on a rail vertex surface, and significantly reduce an operator's burden associated with sprinkling of sand and significantly improve safety, and furthermore, can be realized inexpensively by a simple mechanism.SOLUTION: A vehicle for sand sprinkling has a fallen objects/attachments removing apparatus 30 having a cup brush 31 which brushes a vertex surface of a rail R in front of a wagon 10, and a sand sprinkling device 50 which sprinkles sand onto the vertex surface of the rail R in the rear of the cup brush 31 with respect to a traveling direction. The sand sprinkling device 50 has a container 51 storing sand and a piping 52 connected to a bottom end of the container, and a nozzle 55 is attached to a bottom end of the piping 52. The piping 52 and the nozzle 55 are provided in front of the rear wheels 15. After brushing the vertex surface of the rail R by the cup brush 31, sand is sprinkled from a sprinkling port at a tip of the nozzle 55 onto the vertex surface of the rail R in front of the rear wheel 15. |
