This article first appeared in the Railway-News magazine Issue 2 2022.
PowerRail recently announced the formation of a new member in the PowerRail Family of Companies: PowerRail Engine Systems. PowerRail Engine Systems is a full-service engine company offering a complete line of new and remanufactured engines and engine components.
Comprised of three new PowerRail facilities, PowerRail Engine Systems offers rebuilt engines, as well as new and remanufactured power assemblies, governors, turbochargers, water, fuel and oil pumps, and other engine-related components. With an AAR M-1003 quality certification, PowerRail Engine Systems offers a complete line of products that provides true reliability and quality for all demanding applications, supporting both EMD and GE engines, including Tier 0+ Emission Kits.
Woodward Governors
One of PowerRail Engine Systems’s key product lines is its Woodward- certified governors. Woodward governors provide proven reliability that improve the life of the unit and reduce unplanned downtime.
With PowerRail Engine Systems’s governors, the highest quality standards and requirements are factory-audited, ensuring strict compliance. Only genuine Woodward parts and certified, calibrated tools and test stands are used. A complete disassembly, bench inspection, comprehensive cleaning, reassembly and testing to OEM specifications occurs with each governor to ensure Woodward requirements are met.
PowerRail offers unit exchange, repair/return or new governors. All are rebuilt and tested by certified Woodward governor specialists, then calibrated to OEM specifications. PowerRail works to ensure a large inventory of unit exchange governors is on-hand, ready to ship.
Power Assemblies
Another of PowerRail Engine Systems’s popular product lines is the power assembly. Its complete line of premium new and remanufactured power assemblies, HLPs, cylinder heads and other related parts are machined and assembled in the United States. All raw materials undergo extensive testing to ensure they meet or exceed current OEM specifications.
Before shipment, each power assembly undergoes a 39-point inspection and documentation to ensure quality conformance. All water jackets are thoroughly inspected via bore scope to ensure no debris or casting sand remains. State of the art casting techniques are used to reduce porosity and maintain adequate coolant flow.
