Abstract: The automatic rail greasing apparatus in accordance with the invention applies metered quantities of grease-like lubricant to the rails of a railroad track to lubricate the same as the wheels of a train pass therealong. A sensing device senses the number of train wheels passing a location on the track, and in response to the counting of a predetermined number of wheels an electronic controller periodically opens a fluid valve to pass a metered quantity of such lubricant from a pressurized reservoir to a manifolded delivery mechanism for delivering metered quantities of lubricant to a plurality of discrete spaced-apart locations on each rail. The lubricant may be passed directly through an opening in the rail head from the rail web and base side thereof to the top surface thereof on which the train wheels roll.

Abstract: A hand carried portable rail saw assembly includes a saw having a rotatable blade, a clamp adapted to attach to a rail to be cut and an axial locater adjustably mounted on the clamp and supporting the saw. The saw is pivotally attached to the axial locater and is arranged for pivotal movement from one side of the rail to the other so that first one side of the rail is cut and then the opposite side is cut. A hardened saw guide is attached to the clamp and the saw blade is positioned directly adjacent the guide during the cutting operation.
