GE Transportation: CTS-2 and 3000LP Hydra Switch Machines

GE Transportation

The CTS-2 (mainline) integrates the traditional switch machine components into a single in-tie unit. Its modular subsystems — metallic tie, motor unit with a permanently installed hand crank for dual control and locking and detection unit — are easily serviceable without removing the tie. The compact design and patented locking mechanism eliminate the need for frequent maintenance and adjustments, the company says. The 3000LP Hydra (yard) is a patented, automatically operated, hydraulic switch machine available in a solar or AC inverter version. With more than 3,500 installations, the Hydra-Switch can make any yard safer and more productive with its versatility and ease of operation, the company says.
