Axion gets order from LIRR

摘要

Axion International Holdings, Inc. has received a purchase order from the Long Island Rail Road for additional Ecotrax rail ties, to be used "in various locations throughout Long Island." The size of the order was not specified. LIRR was seeking specialty ties of up to 31 feet in length. Made from 100% recycled plastic, ties can be built to meet unique sizes and specifications. The LIRR order follows testing by the railroad, Axion, and engineering and design firm CTL Group on Axion rail ties used on the LIRR's eastern end, near Montauk, N.Y., for more than eight years. Test results found the ties "maintained their structural durability" met or exceeded AREMA standards, and showed no signs of degradation over eight years.
