For railway lines to function safely, efficiently, and with long service life, the substructure must be properly maintained. In this context, the ballast layer plays a critical role. However, over time, ballast becomes contaminated, compacted, or loses its desired physical properties, negatively affecting both track geometry and ride comfort. To address this issue, ballast cleaning machines were developed to clean and recycle existing ballast, thereby reducing maintenance costs and contributing

Tamping machines are specialized railway maintenance vehicles used to correct geometric deformations that occur over time on railway tracks. Their primary function is to restore the alignment, level, and stability of the track by compacting the ballast beneath the rails and sleepers. These machines enhance operational safety and maintain passenger comfort by adjusting the track to ideal elevation, alignment, and cant values. Equipped with automated systems, modern tamping machines allow for rapi
