Winter Prep for Locomotives & Passenger Cars
|
|
|
With the colder months around the corner, it is time to start thinking about winter prep. Inclement weather never fails to challenge the railroad industry, and operators need a plan for winter preparedness to protect their fleet from the cold.
Without a proper freeze protection method, the water tanks on your rolling stock are vulnerable to freezing when a locomotive's engine is shut off. If the water in a locomotive’s cooling system or a passenger car’s potable-water system freezes, it can cause piping to crack and burst, resulting in costly, expansive and lengthy repairs, and delay schedules.
Having a well-structured, comprehensive winterization plan in place, you can have a stress-free season knowing your equipment is protected from freezing.
