Abstract: Systems and methods for using a mobile crane assembly are provided. The mobile crane assembly includes a mobile crane having a first truss assembly and a second truss assembly spaced apart and movable relative to one another. The first truss assembly and the second truss assembly are each coupled to a rail car end assembly. The mobile crane further comprises an upper gantry assembly movable along the first truss assembly and the second truss assembly. A flat cart is coupled to the rail car end assembly, and a material handling cart is received upon the flat cart and is configured to move between the flat cart and the rail car end assembly based upon input from a controller in electrical communication with the upper gantry assembly.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a mobile crane are provided. In particular, systems and methods are provided for a mobile crane that is designed to enable easy transportation on a railcar to and from a job site. The mobile crane facilitates quick changing between a transport configuration and a work configuration to enable increased productivity. The mobile crane is configured to be modular and thereby be configured to include various lifting and object manipulating features, as required by a specific application.

Abstract: A hockey stick is provided. The hockey stick includes a shaft having a first distal end and a second distal end, a first blade coupled to the first distal end, and a second blade coupled to the second distal end, wherein the first blade and the second blade are curved in the same direction.

Abstract: A track switch includes a turntable section, one or more track sections coupled together to form a single track, and a pair of ramp sections coupled to opposing ends of the single track. One of the track sections is rotationally coupled to the turntable section to allow ramp sections to rotate relative to the turntable section and selectively connect a first railroad track to a second railroad track.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring vehicle violations at a railroad crossing, the method comprising the steps of providing a video camera at the crossing, using a processor to monitor information from the railroad crossing to determine when a traffic violation has likely occurred and when a violation has likely occurred, presenting video of the violation occurring to a system operator via a display screen, providing an input interface for the operator to confirm that a violation has occurred and when the operator confirms that a violation has occurred via the interface, at least one of generating a citation and storing a video clip of the violation for subsequent use.
