Abstract: A device for the continuous reprofiling of the rails of railroads includes at least one abrasive rail reprofiling unit (2) guided along the railroad tracks and comprising at least one abrasive disk (3) that can be pressed against a rail (1). This device notably includes at least one abrasive-waste pickup (20) having at least one segment forming a collection port (21). This segment is placed in the immediate vicinity of at least one abrasive disk (3) and into the geometric axis (41) of the major waste jet (40) produced during operation of this abrasive disk (3). The segment (21) simultaneously cooperates with means for transporting the waste. Moreover, each waste pickup (20) includes elements for reflecting and absorbing the kinetic and thermal energy that allow the formation of agglomerations of matter on the pickup to be avoided.
