Issue
ISSUE

During a routine vehicle inspection, cracks were identified on the truck frames of the original Option A650 heavy rail vehicle fleet. This fleet, consisting of 74 heavy rail vehicles and twelve (12) spare truck frames, is currently undergoing a modernization effort. Inspection services are required to identify additional truck frames present with cracks among the fleet. Repair services are required should cracks be identified during the inspection effort.

Inspecting and repairing the vehicle truck frame is a good engineering practice for the foundation of the whole rail vehicle and promotes the safety of the rail vehicle's critical sub-systems. Having a single reliable firm perform this work will streamline the inspection, repairs and warranty process and minimize the impacts to revenue service.
