Abstract:
Disclosed is a rerailer apparatus that can be installed in a rail car for rerailing the rail car if it derails. The rerailer includes two vertical lifting members which are suspended from the rail car and are connected to a foot. These lifting members are used to lift the rail car vertically when the lifting members are extended and the foot contacts a support surface. A lateral movement member integrated with the vertical lifting members and the foot is used to move the lifted rail car laterally.
