Zusammenfassung:	The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for removing or installing a main shaft 34 of a drivetrain assembly 30 of a wind turbine 10 to and from a nacelle 16 installed atop a wind turbine 10 tower. The rail system 60 includes at least one support component 62 configured to support the main shaft 34. Further, the support component 62 is configured horizontally with respect to the main shaft 34. The rail system 60 also includes at least one sliding component 66 connected between the support component 62 and the main shaft 34. Thus, the sliding component 66 is configured to move horizontally with respect to the support component 62 so as to slide the main shaft 34 between an installed position and an uninstalled position.
