Abstract:
A level crossing panel may comprise a frame, a lighting module coupled to the frame, and a connection support coupled to the frame and electrically connected to the lighting module. The connection support may comprise an interface configured to be removably coupled to a connector of a mast and an electrical contact configured to transmit power from the connector of the mast to the lighting module.
Abstract:
New and improved point machine, point lug and rail mount connections for a railroad point machine apparatus. The new point machine and point lug connections overcome the problems associated with point run, lift and bounce of a point rail. Moreover, the rail mount provides for a generic, common platform that can be used with different sized stock rails.
Abstract:
A mounting arrangement (100) includes an attachment member (102) for attachment to an end of a post (114), a connecting member (104) coupled to the attachment member (102), and a plurality of fastening elements (110) coupling the connecting member (104) to the attachment member (102), each fastening element (110) comprising a longitudinal axis (110A), longitudinal axes (110A) of the plurality of fastening elements (110) being substantially parallel to each other. The connecting member (104) is coupled to the attachment member (102) in a direction defined by the longitudinal axes (110A) of the plurality of fastening elements (110), wherein the attachment member (102) and the connecting member (104) comprise mating cylindrical surfaces (118, 140) which allow a tilting motion of the connecting member (104) about a rotating axis which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axes (110A) of the plurality of fastening elements (110).

Abstract:
A user configurable horizontal brake feature for a railroad crossing gate. The braking feature will maintain lowered crossing gate arms in the horizontal position when a train is approaching and until it is the proper time to raise the gate arms (e.g., after the passing of the approaching train).
