Abstract: A means for towing and feeding a rail-mounted slip form paver has a self-propelled tug unit, a draw bar structure adapted to connect the unit and the paver in spaced relation, a hopper on the tug for receiving fluid concrete and including archimedes screws for delivering the fluid concrete to one end of a conveyor carried by the draw bar structure, a discharge chute at the other end of the conveyor for delivering fluid concrete in advance of the paver and a separating member between the paver and the tug unit operable to split and space continuous bundled steel rod reinforcement for incorporation in the concrete base laid by the paver.
