Portuguese term or phrase: Desguarnecedora Total de Lastro

This refers to a piece of railway maintenance/construction equipment, I am thinking maybe Railway Ballast Hopper but I have a doubt regarding the word Desguarnecedora - this would maybe indicate to me, its a sort of reverse Hopper, i.e. machinery that picks up the ballast from old previously laid trackways, or am I way out on my understanding here? Afraid I have no other helpful text.

Descarrilamento do equipamento Desguarnecedora Total de Lastro N/S 38013 durante procedimento de manobra sob a Linha nº 13.
