Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and a device for building a new ballastway for an at least single-track rail line (100, 101) when there is initially no existing track. The new ballastway should have at least one PS layer (2) and one ballast layer (3), and the PS layer (2) is built up on a subgrade (1) and the ballast layer (3) is built up on the PS layer (2) in a continuous working process in a working direction (A). The PS layer (2) is built up by a PS layer-producing unit (20) (PSL unit), and the ballast layer (3) is built up by a ballast bed-producing unit (30), which is operated at a predefined distance behind the PSL unit (20) in relation to the working direction (A) and is equipped with a chain track or caterpillar track (31) for driving on the PS layer (2). The PSL unit (20) and the ballast bed-producing unit (30) are each supplied with the materials (K, S) needed to build up the PS layer (2) and the ballast layer (3) by means of an associated conveying device (12a, 12b) from at least one open-top wagon (10a, 10b), which is operated at a predefined distance in front of the PSL unit (20) in relation to the working direction (A).
