Union Switch & Signal awarded PATH contract

Union Switch & Signal Inc. (US&S) has been awarded a contract to provide signaling and control systems for the Port Authority Trans Hudson Corp. (PATH) in New York. The contract is part of three projects underway to restore or repair PATH rail transit facilities and track damaged or destroyed during the Sept. 11 World Trade Center attacks. Provisions under the contract include the US&S Microlok II wayside control system, Genisys II non-vital logic emulators for execution of non-vital control logic and 60-hertz track circuits. The signaling systems will be required for rail service to be restored under the World Trade Center site, and are slated to be in service by November 1, 2003.
