Ballast distributing and profiling machine RPB-01 built by the RPM, Russia.

Track ballast made of crashed stone forms the trackbed upon which railroad sleepers are laid. This machine distributes the crashed stone (future track ballast) to form perfect track profile. The bunker in this picture can be filled with the ballast.

New railway track ballast distributing and profiling machine RPB-01 are being built by the Kaluga Track Machines and Hydraulic Drives Plant (part of the Sinara Group) in Russia. The bogie suspension system of the RPB-01 is consisted of primary wheelset Chevron type suspension by the rubber spring; the support of the carbody and guidance traction by the bogie is realised by the flexicoil type secondary suspension throught the coil springs which can be deflected into vertical and horizontal directions according to flexicoil principle. Also hydraulic dampers are instaled.
