Watertown s New York Air Brake building a bridge to future in train brake technology | Business

WATERTOWN — A city business will be riding in the forefront of the anticipated growth of the passenger rail system industry in the coming years because of its technological advancement regarding brakes. Watertown-based New York Air Brake along with its sister company, Westminster, Md.-based Knorr Brake Company, have developed the EE-26™ brake system, engineered for safety, performance, its “uptime” and lower cost of ownership. “It’s a bridge to the future of passenger car brake control,” Michael Gibbs, KBC’s deputy director of sales said in a news release. “North America passenger railcars have been equipped with the same conventional pneumatic brake control for decades. Now, with the adoption of electropneumatic control technology significantly increasing in North America, we’ve engineered the EE-26 brake system with the capability to handle both true pneumatic and electropneumatic control of a braking system.”

These discussions have been highlighted by plans for C-Tran to develop a Bus Rapid Transit line along Mill Plain Boulevard, echoing The Vine route along Fourth Plain Boulevard that debuted in 2017. Indeed, public transit is never going to directly pay for itself. According to C-Tran’s 2019 financial report, farebox payments covered 14.2 percent of the agency’s operating costs. The sale of passes contributed additional revenue, but most of C-Tran’s operations are subsidized by taxpayers.
