Abstract: A system including a railgear assembly couplable to a vehicle is disclosed herein. The railgear assembly can transition between a road configuration and a rail configuration. The system can further include a locking assembly that prevents the railgear assembly from transitioning between the road configuration and the rail configuration in a locked position and allows the railgear assembly to transition between the road configuration and the rail configuration in the unlocked position. The system can further include a fluid powered assembly configured to generate a fluid pressure that transitions the locking assembly from the first locked position to the unlocked position when the fluid pressure is less than a determined threshold, and transitions the railgear assembly between the road configuration and the rail configuration when the fluid pressure reaches or exceeds the determined threshold.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided to lock a switch machine in a fully thrown position. The apparatus may include a housing, a lever, and a switch throw mechanism. The switch throw mechanism may be at least partially housed in the housing. The switch throw mechanism may include a rod having a distal portion and a bracket attached to the distal portion. The lever may be pivotally coupled to the switch throw mechanism to laterally move the rod and the bracket from a first member position to a second member position based on the lever pivoting from a first lever position to a second lever position. The bracket located in the second member position and the lever located in the second lever position may lock the rod in the second member position.
