Yellow machines
“ We focus on railway construction and maintenance of equipment , commonly referred to as ‘ yellow machines ’ by those in the industry ,” Robert begins . “ The term describes the specialized mobile equipment we produce , which ranges from small machines like tie changers , spike pullers , and spike drivers , to large , multi-car machines . Examples of our larger equipment include track renewal trains , which refurbish track in one comprehensive operation , and production rail grinders which remove defects from the entire rail head in a single pass .
“ We also supply several different models of tamping machines to position the track for accurate curvature and cross-level . Our product range extends to rail gear that allows road vehicles to operate on track , as well as specialized utility vehicles used for track cleaning , measurement , catenary management , or bridge inspection . Finally , we provide track inspection services involved with problem solving and optimization of wheel and rail profiles .
“ Our equipment operates on every continent that has railways ,” he states . “ Our customers range from Class 1 heavy haul freight railroads and dedicated mining operations to city metro systems and highspeed passenger lines . We even work with a selection of unusual rail systems like historical railways , amusement parks , and sugar cane factories .”
