Twin
City Signal, Inc. was born in January, 1996. The company began with five
former Burlington Northern Railroad employees and has continued to grow through the years. Today, Twin City Signal is located in two facilities in Hudson Wisconsin, which features state-of-the-art
computer, network, printing and data transfer capabilities.
Growth at Twin
City Signal has also meant the expansion of our capabilities, products
and services. Our engineers design CTC systems, interlockings and grade
crossing warning systems, program vital processor applications, upgrade
rail yards, perform preliminary engineering for commuter rail systems
and provide field service and training. TCS is also a resource for turnkey
project management, taking the project from material procurement through
engineering design and field installation.
TCS expertise
in the renovation of moveable railroad bridges includes complete signal
system upgrades with radio links across open water channels, development
of proximity switch surface alignment detection, and the automation of
lift span bridges to allow for unmanned bridge movements.
The TCS test facility
is equipped with a variety of solid-state microprocessor devices, including
GETS VLC, US&S Microlok II, I-Lok, E-Lok, GETS EC4 and EC5. In addition
to performing standard verification tests in hardware simulation, the
facility provides the capability for testing large, multiple microprocessor
simulations.
Through the
use of a proprietary logic simulator, TCS software engineers are able
to perform simultaneous integrated testing of 30 or more individual microprocessor
locations on a laptop PC, depending on hardware limitations. This unprecedented
capacity allows for near subdivision-wide testing. The simulator is also
used as a software development tool which allows for more efficient creation
of custom software applications. Custom applications can be fully simulated
and verified before they are burned to an EPROM.
The TCS wire
shop excels in the manufacture of top quality custom local control panels
designed to site specific locations. Using only high grade materials,
our panels are constructed for performance and ease of installation and
are built to perform for years in even the most rugged environments.
At Twin City
Signal we take pride in consistently meeting and exceeding customer expectations.
Our goal is to set the industry standard for top quality signal engineering
products and services.
