SIGNALING SYSTEMS

MANUFACTURING

We manufacture cantilevers and gate assemblies for grade crossings, signal bridges and mast ladder platforms for wayside signaling systems, in addition to other unique structures, such as flood platforms. Our wire shop excels in the manufacture of top quality custom Local Control Panels and Cutover Test Panels designed to site specific locations. Whatever the size or the need, our signal team can build it.

INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE

As a leader in the rail crossing, signal installation and maintenance business, Progress Rail provides field management and construction services for large, ongoing projects. We provide a turnkey approach, from survey through design and installation – so you can contact one company to handle your signal needs. We design, build and install on average 100 turnkey signal packages per year. We also offer contract services to maintain, test and supply material for highway railroad intersections. Progress Rail has continuing contracts with more than 80 railroads and industries.

SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

Our facilities can design software utilizing all versions of VALC, ACE, ALP, GEN, MLK, or DT compilers. Our testing facilities are equipped with a variety of solid-state microprocessor devices, which include EC4 and EC5, VHLC, ElectroLogIXS, XP4, GCP4000 and Microlok II. We provide software testing for any size location, including end-to-end testing of multiple plants. This is accomplished by rack testing or utilizing simulators such as Vital-Sim or SATS.
