Track Enhancement: Precision Maintenance in Action
The Petrochemical Maintenance Program in Medicine Hat, AB, valued at $226,000, aimed to revitalize key rail infrastructure through a comprehensive capital maintenance program. This included replacing ties and rail, repairing welds on switch points, frogs, and switch point protectors, and replacing crossing planks, rubber rail seals, and ties. The program also involved general maintenance of rail joints and bolts, grinding and adjusting switch points, stock rails, and frogs, pressure testing switch stands, and distributing, surfacing, lining, and trimming ballast to ensure smooth and reliable rail operations.
