PENN EASTERN RAIL LINES TO INSTALL COMPOSITE RAILROAD CROSSTIES ON TRACKS.
Penn Eastern Rail Lines, located in Langhorne, PA, has announced plans to install composite railroad crossties on their rail lines located in Eastern Pennsylvania. The new railroad crossties will be supplied by the Global Recycling Technology Group (GRTG) located in King of Prussia and is part of a project by GRTG to develop railroad crossties.
"GRTG's experience in the recycled rubber market along with their proprietary and patented technology presents a great opportunity for our company to improve our rail maintainence and reduce costs. Each time a crosstie needs replacement it costs us more in labor to replace the tie than the tie itself. Composites are the furture and we are ready to embrace the new technology", said John Nolan, President of Penn Eastern Rail Line.
The new railroad crossties should be installed in the Fall, 2005, according to GRTG officials.
