The invention relates to a method and a device for cleaning the top surfaces (5) of rails (4). A vehicle (1) carried on rail and comprising scraping means (10), loosening means (20) and rotatable brush means (30) is used. In case of a wet rail (4) the scraping means (10) are used to make the top surfaces (5) of the rails (4) dry. The loosening means (20) are used to loosen up encrustments located on the top surfaces (5) of the rails (4) after which said encrustments are removed by the aid of the brush means (30) from the top surfaces (5) of the rails (4). The scraping means (10) and the loosening means (20) are carried by slewing brackets (11, 12 and 21, 22, respectively) connected with the chassis (2) of the vehicle and the brush means (30) are carried by telescopic means (40) connected to the chassis (2) of the vehicle (1), said means (10, 20, 30) being operable between an inactive position of repose and an active working position. The vehicle (1) is so embodied that it can be used for cleaning of rails in both directions of travel. |
