Featured Products
TS-4500 Hydraulic Yard Switch Machine
TS-4500 hydraulic switch machine features a direct drive that maximizes the available power for throwing any size switch point. This innovative design features numerous efficiencies, such as minimal linkages and sealed bearings that ensure reliability, minimize maintenance and lower the cost.
Modular Yard Automation (MYA)
The Modular Yard Automation system (MYA) enables a railroad to implement scalable automated solutions to increase safety, productivity, and efficiency in your rail yard application.
FAS-PAS Dark Territory Switch
The patented FAS-PAS is a safe, cost effective mainline switch control solution for Dark Territory. With FAS-PAS, the locomotive sends a request to query (or throw) the switch machine while on the approach, from up to two miles in advance of the siding.
