Bita: Utensílio de via em forma de T, parecido com uma picareta, cujo braço metálico tem dupla função: desguarnecer (e guarnecer) as travessas e atacar o balastro. Para isso, tem uma extremidade com forma de pá, terminando em bico, com a qual se desguarnece (e guarnece) de balastro a zona inferior das travessas e a outra extremidade, engrossada em forma de cabeça de martelo, serve para atacar o balastro para baixo das travessas)
