LIRR Announces Completion of Third Track Project
Early October, New York Governor Kathy Hochul and the MTA celebrated the completion of the Long Island Rail Road’s (LIRR) Third Track project. The new 9.8-mile track runs from Floral Park to Hicksville, giving the railroad more operational flexibility to minimize service disruptions while improving safety and creating true bi-directional LIRR service.
Beat Harsh Winter Conditions with nVent’s Heating Systems
It’s no secret that snow and ice buildup on train tracks can cause major operational challenges that can result in rail service disruptions and compromised safety. To help combat these potential issues, nVent RAYCHEM and PRI have partnered to provide the North American transit industry with fully integrated heating systems for winter operations.
Contact Rail Heating Keeps Passenger Trains Moving
Winter weather impacts transportation for millions in North America including the New York City metropolitan area. With weather disturbances comes the risk of mass transit systems, like subway transportation, experiencing delays and potentially being out of service.
nVent’s Heating Systems Keep Transit Industry on the Move
PRI’s latest partnership with nVent RAYCHEM provides the North American transit industry with fully integrated heating systems for winter operations. These heating solutions are crucial for third rail electrification, which is typically used in rapid transit systems.
PRI, nVent Partner to Supply Third Rail Heaters for Third Track Expansion
PRI will be working with nVent to supply third rail heaters as part of the Long Island Rail Road’s (LIRR) Third Track Expansion Project. PRI will be designing and providing 24 PLC-based SCADA and control cabinets, 55 heating element contractor cabinets, 55 fused knife switch boxes, and additional heating elements.
Let’s Work Together
