Did you know that Engineers in one forward-thinking Network Rail Route have devised a means of using the CableGuardian online portal and a database to proactively track IR values and act when feeders show signs of deterioration worthy of attention? In many cases this is well before the mandated intervention levels, providing the opportunity to move to a predict and prevent process for their signalling power supplies.

Securing and modernizing our energy infrastructure is not only critical for the energy transition, but it is critical for national security as well. http://mvnt.us/m2345974 

This wire represents the most thrilling and significant advancement in over a century. It's undeniably the solution to numerous challenges and a vital component for the future. Every lineman across the country is eagerly anticipating its arrival. Imagine tripling the power flow within the same transmission corridor—more value for your right-of-way investment, delighted investors, and positive PR for the power company. But for me, as a lineman, it means much more. It means putting food on the table, affording my children's braces, building a college fund, and pursuing family dreams. These projects transcend mere profit; they impact people's livelihoods. In essence, if you want a greatful man , save his life. If you want a loyal man, save his livelihood.

Rail companies are adapting their current and voltage today in similar ways they did in the early 20th century - given the technologies available at the times, via TRB's #TRRjournal. https://ow.ly/zqXe50RqSR3
