What is a Railway Safety Shunt Device?

Brooks Enterprises, LLC is pleased to introduce its “Railway Safety Shunt Device” – a device designed to create an electrical by-path for non-shunting rail vehicles operating on railroads. This device installs on non-shunting Hi rail equipment and it will positively connect track circuits from one rail to the adjacent rail. When the circuit is completed, a shunt results.

Brooks Enterprises understands the concerns of transit companies using non-shunting equipment on passenger rail lines. According to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Hi rail equipment involved in accidents is on a national increase. We at Brooks Enterprises, LLC have studied industry demands and those of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Our device will help protect your passenger trains and your maintenance equipment from being at the same place at the same time.
