Improved Rail Technology Helps Bring Safety and Efficiency to the Train Yard
(Oak Creek, WI) – With the launch of the new Iron Python, AAA Sales & Engineering provides a
multi-purpose product that serves as both a train-holding device and train chock. The Iron Python is
designed to improve locomotive and railcar utilization, reduce fuel consumption and save railcar
repair costs.
This new product was designed for both arrival and departure tracks, and is used during unloading
operations to locate cars and absorb impact from cars that are not well spotted. In cases where a
car approaches at high impact speeds, the Iron Python will safely derail the car. The Iron Python
provides a safeguard in sensitive areas like the main line, car shop and dumper by restraining the
movement of a single car or an entire train, making it one of the safest ways to protect both tracks
and people.
• Positively restrain the movement of one car or an entire train without relying on friction
• Accurate car positioning for automated car handling equipment
• Reduce the time spent applying and removing hand brakes
• Reduced car repair costs due to elimination of car repair needed from hand brakes left applied
• Less engineer/ trainman hours
• Improve locomotive utilization
• Improve railcar utilization
• Greater safety
• Improves yard efficiency
• 20 second deployment with the push of a button
