Locomotive Service Truck (LST)
Hulcher Services’ Locomotive Service Truck (LST) is a self-contained, mobile service solutions truck that brings the most commonly needed services directly to your locomotives. No longer do you need to send locomotives on side trips to the terminal for servicing. The LST brings locomotive cleaning and servicing directly to your location.
The LST is equipped with systems for water, motor oil, sand and toilet refuse that allow it to service multiple locomotives on a single trip.
The LST’s range of service functions includes:
- Maintain Critical Fluids and Traction Sand– The LST operator can replenish sand, engine water and various oils (engine and governor).
- Perform Informal Inspections – The LST operator can assess various systems in the locomotive. These visual checks provide an informal “extra set of eyes” to identify potential issues and help the railroad as it performs its formal inspections. The operator can also clean oils and other hazards from walkways and repair chains.
- Clean Cabs – The operator can clean windows and mirrors, change cab lights, empty and replace trash bags, sweep the cab and replenish crew packs.
- Service Locomotive Toilets – The LST operator can discharge and recharge toilets, refi ll water and sanitizer and clean the compartment.
In addition, the LST can jump-start locomotives, and its pressure washer can be used to remove graffiti and wash off oil and debris.
Anyone who has worked with railroad contractors knows that the most important part of any piece of equipment is the operator. Hulcher’s operators are railroad specialists. They have received training in railroad applications, are current in safety and security certification requirements for all Class I railroads, and have spent years perfecting their craft in maintenance-of-way environments.With their extensive railroad experience, our operators can work seemlessly with your rail gangs.
When you want to enjoy the convenience and cost savings of the locomotive service truck on a one-time basis or as part of a regular service route, call Hulcher today at 800-637-5471.
