Railroad signals are crucial to safely traveling across the tracks.

Both railroad junctions and crossings can have multiple tracks crossing one another, which can make for high-risk conditions. With American Railroad Signals interlocking plants, signals are incapable of being displayed unless safe transit has been confirmed.

Managing multiple crossings in high-traffic areas is never easy. But with American Railroad Signals, it’s safer than ever before.

Both PTC and CTC are protocol systems that improve the safety and efficiency of railway signaling. American Railroad Signals has the capability to analyze, install, and manage either system in your community’s railroad crossings.

Positive Train Control: Consists of automation software that tracks a train’s travel, speed, and whether it’s moving as it should be according to traffic scheduling.

Centralized Train Control: Consists of a central dispatch center that controls interlockings, traffic flow, and sections of railway within the jurisdiction of that railway line.

Perhaps one of the most commonly seen types of railroad crossing signal systems, Grade Crossing Signals are vital to the safety of both pedestrians and drivers. We offer key analysis, engineering, and construction of grade crossing systems.

Safety Assessments: We will identify the most critical issues with your current railroad signal system and devise the best plan of action to address those first. From that point, we then assess the ways in which we could streamline your operation and devise a comprehensive plan for you to review.

Warning Systems: Our team is experienced in the engineering and construction of warning systems for all railways, including freight and mass transit.

For those unfamiliar with the term, Railroad Preemption Design is the process for engineering and constructing railway signals that are integrated with road-traffic signals, such as stoplights and crosswalk signals.

American Railroad Signals will help your community construct traffic-integrated signal systems that work to keep citizens safe at railroad crossings, whether they’re on foot or in a vehicle.

We have a fully functioning wiring shop that handles the engineering, electrical configuration, and testing of the equipment prior to installation.

Once we’ve constructed a railroad signal system or any other facet of the signaling process, we subject the finished product to rigorous testing prior to any live-train scenarios. We always conduct extensive testing of all safety functions before final launch of a new system.

We have a team of engineers that are well-versed in the assessment, design, and testing of railroad signals. Our guys know what problems to look for, how to solve them, and will ensure that your signal system is running effectively before it goes live.

When train tracks are near neighborhoods or business parks, the noise of the horn can be an obnoxious nuisance for residents and/or employees.

From getting help with implementing the FRA’s “Train Horn Rule” to planning your community’s Quiet Zone, American Railroad Signals can help your community remain quieter without sacrificing safety.

We offer training seminars for all state and federal employees, law enforcement, and anyone involved in the railway infrastructure of your community.

By law, the state is required to provide railroad enterprises with up to $3500 to be spent on Consultation and Project Specification from reputable railroad construction companies, such as American Railroad Signals. These funds are intended to incentivize routine improvements to railway safety and keep citizens safe.

Contact us to find out more about getting this funding for your company or community.

In the event of an accident, we have expert professionals that are trained and licensed in the inspection of railway accidents—this includes the proper way to discuss incident details with law enforcement and insurance inspectors.
