Knox Kershaw Inc.For controlling light brush, limbs and grass in areas most easily accessible by track, Knox Kershaw Inc. offers a Diamond Mowers Inc. brushcutter attachment for its KBR 925 Ballast Regulator and KSF 940 Snow Fighter. Customers that have added the brushcutter option to their Knox Kershaw machine have been “pleased with the versatility it offers on the job site, quickly converting from ballast regulator to vegetation manager based on the needs of the day,” said President and Chief Operating Officer George Pugh.The brushcutters can be attached on both sides of the machine and operated simultaneously by two operators in the cab. The boom has up to a 28-foot reach from the centerline, and the actuator comes with 90-degree movement forward and 75 degrees rearward. It has a high load bearing capacity and comes with a breakaway feature to prevent stress on the boom. The booms are constructed of high strength steel; boom and mower movements are controlled via main hydraulic control circuits utilizing Sauer Danfoss PVG 32 valve banks and multi-function proportional joysticks.A variety of mower heads are available, including a 90-inch saw, 50-inch flail and 60-inch rotary styles. All heads can cut up to 8-inch diameter material. When idle, the brushcutter mowers rest securely on a rack/cradle mounted at the front of the machine.“Knox Kershaw continues to improve upon existing models of its machines to make them safer, more efficient and easier to operate,” Pugh said, citing the “guidance and support” from customers as key to keeping the company on the product improvement track.All Railroad Services Corp.All Railroad Services Corp. (ARS) is a full-service contractor serving railroads and transit authorities. ARS offers full-service vegetation management programs designed by its staff of herbicide managers. The company provides weed spraying, and tree and brush removal services along mainlines and in yards, with both on-track and off-track work gangs and equipment.ARS recently completed large pole line removal contracts with railroads in the eastern and midwestern United States. The company also has been focusing on ash tree problems — i.e., pine beetles and emerald ash borers, which are a problem for railroads and transit authorities, as well as home owners and industrial plants along railroad rights of way, ARS officials said.Meanwhile, the company continues to upgrade its hi-rail equipment fleet. ARS officials expect a “strong” 2017 and continue plans to “extend our services toward the western part of the country,” they said.Progress RailProgress Rail recently introduced a Kershaw SkyTrim 75HRT (Hi-Rail Truck) trimmer designed to manage vegetation for freight and passenger railroads.The 75-foot SkyTrim offers flexibility and ease of operation — “not only during working mode, but also when being transported to and from various job locations,” the company said. The unit’s ability to move under its own power and not with the assistance of a third party ensures efficient and low-cost operation, the company said. For situations where track time is in short supply, a high-performance option is available.K.W. Reese Inc.K.W. Reese Inc. provides vegetation management services to railroads and utilities throughout the U.S. Northeast. Its crews use traditional tree trimming and removal techniques, as well as hi-rail-equipped aerial lifts, cranes, chippers and dump trucks to “safely and efficiently remove vegetation from railroad rights of way,” the company said.A full-service railroad contractor with 45 years experience, the company also can provide a full range of post-storm restoration services, including debris removal, landslide/washout repair, track repair and material distribution.Asplundh Railroad DivisionAsplundh Railroad Division provides herbicide and mechanical cutting services throughout North America, and has eight fleet and office facilities in the United States. The company cuts and mulches limbs, trees, vines and brush; maintains crossings; sprays ballast or trackside brush; and offers mowing and fire suppression services.Asplundh Railroad specializes in “innovative equipment and technology” to reduce the amount of track time needed for vegetation management, according to the company. By improving efficiency and reducing track time, the company helps railroad operators increase the overall amount of work completed on a yearly basis.Asplundh’s fleet includes its Eco-Cutter dual-action brush cutting and spraying machines, a 60,000- to 80,000-gallon spray train and hi-rail side trimmers with telescopic booms. Rounding out its vegetation management toolbox are traditional hi-rail aerial lifts, chippers and spray trucks. With GPS and vehicle-locating technology installed in all of the company’s vehicles, railroad personnel know where Asplundh crews are located on the track and can obtain an electronic record of where herbicides were applied or vegetation was cut.NMC Railway SystemsNMC Railway Systems continues to expand its line of hi-rail equipment, which is designed to combat remote vegetation growth and assist with other maintenance-of-way projects. Over the past year, the company added the Huddig 1260C Hi-Rail to its product line. The wheeled backhoe loader system features a specialized articulating center pivot system that enables the machine to operate multiple attachments, such as brushcutters for vegetation management projects.The Huddig 1260C Hi-Rail also has a power output of 157 horsepower, enabling the machine to operate multiple attachments for various MOW projects, including tie replacement, ballast regulation, material handling, vegetation management, snow management and utility work. It also features an auxiliary tool valve and hose reel to run 5/10 gallons-per-minute hydraulic handheld tools, and the option to add a man lift and/or remote control.NMC Railway Systems also offers a range of hi-rail equipment to “suit the needs of the railroads and rail contractors,” the company said. “These diverse machines can utilize multiple tool functionality, and with the ability to hi-rail down the track lines, the equipment can easily manage vegetation overgrowth in more remote areas.”Loftness Specialized Equipment Inc.Loftness Specialized Equipment Inc. offers the Carbide Cutter G4, the company’s newest generation high-
performance mulching head attachment for skid steers. Incorporating an adjustable shear bar to customize material sizing, the feature-laden Carbide Cutter G4 builds upon the company’s G3 model and includes a 37 percent larger displacement drive motor with more torque, the company said.The Carbide Cutter G4 is available with 61- and 71-inch cutting widths; all models are offered with either carbide-tipped teeth or heat-treated steel planer blade Loftness Quadco teeth. The engineered tooth pattern features an improved staggered spiral configuration that offers better power distribution and balance, as well as single-tooth contact with the work surface at all times, according to the company.The Carbide Cutter G4 features a two-stage cutting chamber with two shear bars — a combination of features that results in small particle sizes while eliminating jamming and wrapping issues, the company said.A new adjustable primary-stage shear bar can be widened or narrowed to fine-tune material size and production rate, and the inside of the cutting chamber is smooth and open, which reduces clogging from mud or buildup of material, the company said. Skid shoes can be adjusted from 0.5 inches to -1.5 inches, which enables mulching below grade. Operating at 2,000 to 2,400 RPM, the mulching head features a synchronous drive belt for greater efficiency and less maintenance, the company said.Barko Hydraulics LLCFeaturing a heavy-duty design for maneuvering across rough terrain, Barko Hydraulics LLC’s B-Series Industrial Wheeled Tractors are designed to provide fuel efficiency while increasing productivity. The machines deliver consistent performance for land clearing, right-of-way maintenance, site prep, and other large commercial and municipal applications, according to Barko, which is part of the Pettibone LLC Heavy Equipment Group.The 937B model is powered by a 380-horsepower Cummins QSL9 Tier 4 Final diesel engine with selective catalytic reduction aftertreatment, while the 930B features a 320-horsepower engine.Both include a high-capacity anti-clog radiator with auto reversing fan, along with a 127-gallon fuel tank that allows for longer operating intervals.Barko’s load sensing hydraulic system automatically adjusts attachment performance according to the load, resulting in greater productivity and higher fuel efficiency, the company said.A high-capacity oil cooler and variable displacement piston pumps are designed to keep hydraulic oil cool, and a high-pressure 20-micron return filter helps prevent debris from damaging pumps and valves, the company said.The tractors’ 45-degree articulation joint withstands extreme stress and tough terrain, while each machine’s maneuverable design provides a turning radius of 15 feet, 9 inches to enable work in tight spaces, the company said. A hydrostatic transmission with two-speed transfer case allows for controlled operation speeds, and travel speeds up to 15.8 mph for the 937B and 12.2 mph for the 930B.Email comments or questions to This email address is being protected from spambots.

NRE has been focusing on strengthening its in-house services, and boosting its component rebuilding and spare parts businesses.Photo – NRE Freight carloads were down for the second consecutive year in 2016, primarily due to a sluggish manufacturing economy and turmoil in the energy markets. Intermodal volumes weren’t great, either.Freight locomotive manufacturers certainly felt the impact of another slow year, and some believe the same challenges they faced in 2016 will continue in 2017.“There isn’t any company in the market that isn’t going through difficulties right now,” said Mike Zerafa, assistant vice president of North American sales and business development for National Railway Equipment Co. (NRE). “The competition is fierce.”Capital constraints and an abundance of parked locomotives will “prove challenging” for new locomotive sales, said Marty Haycraft, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for Progress Rail, in an email.“However, there are positive signs that locomotives are returning to work, and opportunities are on the horizon,” Haycraft added.One such opportunity: Locomotive providers are using this manufacturing downtime to increase rebuild activity, boost their parts and service business, and, in some cases, expand their global footprint.Progressive Railroading recently checked in with representatives from five locomotive manufacturers to discuss the marketplace, technology and other developments. What follows are their responses, gleaned from phone and email interviews.NRE: ‘We want to offer more choices’Officials at NRE, which provides new and remanufactured locomotives, have noted a steady stream of overhaul and repair work this past year, Zerafa said.To help make up for the decrease in new locomotive business, NRE focused on strengthening its in-house services, boosting its component rebuilding and spare parts businesses, and acquiring HK Engine Components LLC (HKEC), which builds and remanufactures EMD-style 645, 710 and 567 engine power assemblies for the railroad and marine markets. Completed last year, the HKEC deal enabled NRE to expand its engine solution options for customers around the globe.“With the intensified competition, we want to offer more choices for railroads,” Zerafa said.NRE also continues to offer its Independent Axle Control (IAC) system. Railroads opting for an IAC retrofit can choose to retain, refurbish or replace all other equipment, including cabins, consoles, high-voltage cabinets, excitation control hardware and existing traction motors.Additionally, the company is pilot-programming its electronically controlled actuator with Class I and short-line customers. The product replaces the traditional hydraulic governor and is an entry point for railroads following a capital improvement schedule for replacing existing equipment.Progress Rail: [RE]powering upFor Progress Rail, which manufactures Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD) branded locomotives, deliveries last year included a portion of Tier 4 production unit order for a North American customer. In February, the company unveiled the EMD24B [RE]power locomotive, which previously was known as the PR24B, Progress Rail’s Haycraft said. The unit is a GP-style locomotive powered by a Cat® 3512C HD engine and is designed with flexibility to allow customers to choose options without extensive engineering. On Feb. 22, Progress Rail announced it had successfully completed initial emissions testing of the EMD24B and had begun the process of certifying the locomotive per the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Tier 4 emissions standards. The unit will start the California Air Resources Board’s 3,000-hour in-service verification testing, first with Pacific Harbor Line Inc.Marketplace interest in repowered units continues to increase; Progress Rail’s customers are asking about overhauls, reliability and energy management systems, too, Haycraft said.“As a company, we are taking advantage of this time to streamline our operations and engineering, and further enhance our technology strategy,” he said. “Improved life-cycle cost and improved velocity for the railroads continue to drive innovation.”On the predictive analytics front, Progress Rail offers EMD Uptime. In partnership with Uptake — a provider of predictive analytics and insight software — Progress Rail created a next-generation rail analytics platform for condition-based maintenance. EMD Uptime is designed to enable railroads to minimize unplanned downtime, and improve asset utilization and reliability. The cloud-based portal monitors locomotive faults and operating parameters in real time, providing diagnostics, prognostics and repair recommendations.The company also offers Smart Consist 2.0, which works in conjunction with New York Air Brake Corp.’s Locomotive Engineer Assist Display and Event Recorder, or LEADER®, system to improve energy management across fleets.Brookville: Rebuilds in progressIn January, Brookville Equipment Corp. announced it had promoted Rick Graham from chief financial officer to president. Graham has recommitted to the company’s locomotive building and rebuilding program, and Brookville currently has two rebuild projects in progress, said Adam Mohney, the company’s marketing specialist.Brookville spent much of 2016 expanding its parts and service support networks, and customers showed an increasing interest in the company’s customized diesel-hydraulic yard switchers for mining and other heavy-haul tasks, Mohney noted. Last year was the first full year of service for the BL05 locomotive at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility in Bremerton, Wash., and Brookville is the only U.S.-based manufacturer to build this locomotive type, Mohney said. The company expects more inquiries in 2017 from shipyards, cement factories and other industrial businesses that require short, heavy-haul applications.Brookville also expects its Tier-4 BL12CG CoGeneration™ locomotives, which are designed to reduce emissions, to get more attention this year.“There are a lot of advancements in available technology that railroads will be looking at to advance their fleets and conserve the environment,” Mohney said. “I don’t see that changing anytime soon.”GE: Makeovers and digital solutionsIn 2016, GE Transportation developed what it terms as an “innovative modernization technology” to keep locomotives running longer. These “extreme makeovers” include new control systems, trucks and AC-propulsion technology designed to provide greater adhesion, improved reliability, an updated control platform and a new operator cab for crew comfort, said Yuvbir Singh, GE Transportation’s vice president and locomotive, marine, stationary power and drill leader, in an email.Modernized locomotives also can be equipped with digital solutions such as Locotrol DP, which can reduce stopping time by more than 20 percent, and Trip Optimizer, which can generate 10 percent fuel savings and has helped railroads save more than 100 million gallons of diesel, according to the company.“Digital [solutions] will remain a priority, as we help customers better optimize their assets to achieve greater outcomes,” Singh said. “In fact, we’re seeing digital become a key leapfrog factor within the rail sector across all levels.”For example, GE Transportation last year launched a European digital pilot with German rail operator DB Cargo AG to increase productivity on a non-GE locomotive.Additionally, GE and South Africa’s Transnet revealed plans in January to digitize Africa’s transport sector by providing real-time, data-driven shipment updates.The company also delivered “hundreds of locomotives globally and celebrated key milestones regarding our Indian Railways deal,” including the groundbreaking for the manufacturing and services facilities, Singh said, referring to a 2015 agreement with India’s Ministry of Railways to develop and supply 1,000 diesel units.“Furthering our global footprint, we successfully delivered locomotives to key markets, including South Africa, Angola, Pakistan and Indonesia,” he said.Railserve: Turning over a new LEAFLast year, Railserve rolled out the first Tier 4-compliant Dual Railserve LEAF locomotive. Two basic LEAF models now are available: the original single-engine unit, and the two-engine Dual LEAF. Both boast the same Cummins Genset the manufacturer has always used, but now in a Tier-4 compliant configuration, according to the company.“What was already a very clean machine has become even more environmentally friendly,” said TJ Mahoney, Railserve’s LEAF program manager, in an email.Compared with conventional locomotives, both LEAF models now reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by 92 percent and particulate matter by 99 percent, with fuel consumption rates that are 45 percent to 65 percent lower than conventional units, Mahoney said. In a typical operation, where fuel use is reduced by 50 gallons of diesel per day, the LEAF cuts greenhouse gases by 400,000 pounds per year, he added. The Railserve LEAF employs Observe/Analyze/Respond™ (OAR) technology developed by Alternative Motive Power Systems (AMPS). OAR allows multiple users to track a wide range of operating data from remote locations.Data from the AMPS Locomotive Control Unit onboard each Railserve LEAF is processed by OAR, and then transmitted via Wi-Fi or cellular system to a web-based dashboard for locomotive status and performance monitoring by on-site plant managers or operations personnel at remote locations, according to the company.The data collected and displayed helps develop improved safety and operating efficiency by tracking track speed violations, hard couplings, man-down alerts and more.Internationally, Railserve delivered its first overseas LEAF order to a state-owned railroad in Gabon, Africa in late 2015. The six locomotives are used for major mining operations in western Africa. Overall, company officials’ outlook for sustainable locomotives is positive this year, Mahoney said, citing the availability of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency mitigation trust funding.Michael Popke is a Madison, Wis.-based freelance writer.

— By This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., Senior Associate EditorTransit-rail agencies in recent years have been using data and Internet of Things (IoT) principles to address certain safety and security challenges.For instance, they've installed video systems on locomotives and inside the cabs to capture data that might be used after train derailments, crossing incidents or other safety-related mishaps. Video technology also has been used at passenger-rail stations to catch fare evaders or other criminal activity.As a result, transit-rail agencies have collected a lot of data that typically isn't accessed and evaluated until after an event occurs and an investigation is underway. Now, some agencies are considering how they can use that data to further protect their passengers and assets from harm. One way is accessing the data remotely and turning it into real-time information that railroad operators and security personnel can use to prevent accidents or criminal activity from occurring on trains or in stations, says Larry Jordan, president and chief technology officer at Wi-Tronix LLC, which provides remote monitoring solutions for mobile assets in the rail, marine and mining markets."There are tens of thousands of systems out there that are recording information, but they don't have remote accessibility," Jordan says. "We provide remote accessibility to get that data. Once it's available, we use artificial intelligence and deep learning both on board the vehicle and in the back office to analyze it and merge it with other information to flag or detect exceptions to conditions."Last year, Wi-Tronix introduced "Violet," a combined system comprising a vehicle's event recorder, digital recorder and remote-monitoring platform."Our product combines all the elements needed to move the customer and the industry from recording the information and using it in a post-investigation situation, to using the information in real time to detect threats and determine if those threats are from criminal activity or from unsafe operations or conditions," Jordan says.In the future, transit-rail agencies will be able to use video and data analytics to serve as virtual security guards throughout their railroad to detect security threats, he adds."Passengers certainly feel more safe if there's a transit security officer on the rail car," says Jordan. "We know it's not practical to have human officers stationed on every car. … But the way the technology is evolving, it will be like having a security guard in every compartment of every rail car."Among the many ways the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) is stepping up security is through the recent installation of a closed circuit TV (CCTV) surveillance center, where security personnel will be tasked with monitoring video and data gathered from the system."We're going to use video analytics to monitor those critical safety areas to make sure we maintain restricted access and can respond appropriately," says Metro Executive Officer of System Safety and Law Enforcement Alex Wiggins. "We're also looking at patterns of fare evasion. We've trained our cameras to people jumping turnstiles and using emergency exit gates to enter the system."Metra will then catalog that data, which will help the agency determine where to deploy its security resources.Wiggins notes that there’s a strong correlation between individuals who enter the transit system without proof of payment who may also engage in other behavior that could be criminal activity."All that activity affects the ridership experience of our paying customers," he says. "By managing and responding better to people who are paying to enter our system, we anticipate a reduction not just in criminal activity, but in the unpleasant experiences felt by our paying customers."In addition to using data to track fare evaders, Metro recently partnered with the Transportation Security Administration to develop a pilot program that will screen passengers for explosives and other weapons.Wiggins and other Metro officials are reviewing next-generation screening systems that could be installed on the Metro Red Line and at Union Station in Los Angeles. One company whose products Metro is reviewing is Evolv Technology, which offers a threat detection system that the company's website describes as "an adaptable, open architecture, security platform that combines artificial intelligence (AI) and human IQ to provide unprecedented protection."The agency is seeking a technology that can accurately screen 600 to 800 passengers per hour so as not to delay their travel schedules.Similar to a security screening at an airport, the checkpoint system would use low-intensity millimeter wave technology to detect anomalies on a person’s exterior."If the anomaly is not organic, the system will pick up and display that image to the operator. Then, of course, law enforcement would interdict if something needs to be investigated further," Wiggins says.Metro is seeking a portable screening system that can be moved for use at gates, on platforms and at building access points."Our ultimate goal over the next several years is to continue to test technology so that when we need to deploy random screening, we can do it in a way that’s efficient and doesn’t interfere with our customers' travel plans, but at the same time helps keep us all secure," adds Wiggins.Email questions or comments to This email address is being protected from spambots.
