One costly, and usually easy to resolve problem that face
railroads is switch failure.
|
|
|
|
Switches offer several main reasons for triggered failures:
|
|
1.
|
|
Improper switch rod adjustment.
|
|
2.
|
|
Improper installation.
|
|
3.
|
|
Maintenance issues.
|
|
|
|
|
The bottom line is that switch failures cost money!
|
|
|
|
Lost revenue, derailments, costly repairs: due to shortened life
span of components.
