A vehicle train (1) serves for transporting rails (2) and to deposit them on a track (6), wherein the rails are mounted on a loading platform (8) of a first vehicle (3) having a load crane (9), and the rails are deposited on a coupled second vehicle (4). Each vehicle (3, 4) is assigned a load carrier (11, 12) which serves as an upper boundary with respect to a vertical, is positioned centrally with respect to a lateral direction of the vehicle, runs in a longitudinal direction (10) of the vehicle and has first and second carrier ends (16, 17) with respect to said longitudinal direction (10). A crane rail (19) which runs in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and has the purpose of displacing the load crane (9) is provided on each load carrier, wherein a crane rail bridge (20) for connecting the two crane rails (19) is arranged between the two adjoining load carriers (11, 12). The crane rail bridge (20) is of variable design with respect to a bridge length (21) which runs in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The load carrier (11) of the first vehicle (3) is respectively connected at the first and second carrier ends (16, 17) to the vehicle frame (13) by a frame carrier (18), wherein the two frame carriers (18) are spaced apart from one another at a distance (a) which corresponds at least to a length (b) of the rails (2) which are to be transported.
