Description: |
Claim:
My invention relates to a trowel or device for tamping ballast under railroad ties from the ends of the latter; the trowel proper or blade of the device being of length to extend well beyond the plane of the inner edge of the base of the adjacent rail, namely approximately near the center of the track, so as to deposit and tamp the tamping ballast or material throughout the entire space between the old tie bed and the bottom of the tie. |
