[0033] When replacing old rails with new rails, the rail replacement method includes the following steps:

[0034] S1. Prepare three light railway continuous rail changing devices, which are divided into car No. 1, car No. 2 and car No. 3. Car No. 1 and car No. 3 have the same structure. The upper rail guide frame 3 of car No. 1 and car No. 3 is located on the outside of the lower rail guide frame 4, and the upper rail guide frame 3 of car No. 2 is located on the inside of the lower rail guide frame 4 to assist in the replacement of new and old rails;
