Another practical use...

parking limit

Use Markers to indicate parking limits at rail loading docks.

The low-profile flexible marker is resistant to chemicals and does not interfere with the movement of rail cars.


 

fouled track

On a spur track, rail cars which are parked too close to a switch can cause dangerous clearance problems for trains passing on the adjacent track and for workers riding on the side of those cars. This situation is known as "fouling the track"

tank car and marker

Track Clearance Marker offers a permanent, highly visible, all weather point of reference for spotting crews

track clearance marker in snow

Always visible -- even in snow-covered track. The 10" high flexible urethane cone does not interfere with locomotive snow plowing. The cone is always visible above the top of cleared rails.

Note: Constant exposure to sunlight will not affect the physical properties of urethane except that there may be some color alteration over time. The marker will still remain a highly visible object in the middle of the track, especially in snow
