摘要

A machine for removing an old track and laying a new track includes a machine frame extending in a longitudinal direction and supported by undercarriages for mobility in an operating direction. A tie laying device for laying new ties is mounted on the machine frame between the undercarriages. A tie conveyor unit extending in the longitudinal direction includes a first conveying section, having a tie receiving end positioned ahead of the tie laying device in the operating direction and a transfer end positioned behind the tie laying device, and a second conveying section, positioned underneath the first conveying section, for receiving ties from the transfer end. The second conveying section has a delivery end positioned immediately behind the tie laying device in the operating direction.
