Perfect Rail Joint Gap Inspection is a self-propelled rail-bound vehicle that measures both track geometry and catenary. The joint gap inspection collects and records extensive information on track conditions. Monitoring track conditions over time will give railroads a better understanding of their maintenance needs and schedule. The machine is staffed by a three-man crew.
Perforation of the Rail Joint Gap Inspection:
• Records track geometry measurements every foot at varying speeds
