Delta unveils rail unloader car
Delta Railroad Services has unveiled its first 'rail unloader car (RUC)', a machine designed to improve the speed and safety of handling continuous welded rail strings. Traditionally unloaded manually, the process was both slow and risky. The new RUC automates distribution directly from railcars to the track bed.
"Every machine that leaves our shop is built with our customer in mind – their comfort, safety and operational needs," said Steven Pratt, COO of Delta’s machinery unit. CEO Linda Laurello added that the system transforms a labour-intensive task into a safe, automated operation, protecting crews while raising productivity in the USA and North America. (js)
