June 2017: ESL recently built a 1200A Wayside Panel for the Ottawa train station in Canada. A Wayside Panel is extremely important to power up trains during scheduled maintenance or layover. ESL’s Wayside Power Cabinets provide temporary plug-in power to passenger trains when the locomotive engines have been shut down and/or disconnected. Eliminating idling of a locomotive’s diesel engine while the train is parked reduces the number of toxins released into the environment.
