US short line railroad to test Glid units
The Portland Vancouver Junction Railroad (PVJR) is cooperating with Genesis Electronics Group to evaluate its Glid units on its US rail lines.
Glid will be able to test its equipment for lifting semi-trailers and entering and exiting rail lines in the confines of Taylor Transport’s private property which has a rail spur directly connecting to the PVJR controlled line.
The partnership is the first in USA to grant access to an autonomous and electric vehicle to move unaltered semi-trailers on and off the rails. PVJR leases 53 km of railroad with access to the Canadian Port of Vancouver and the Portland Metropolitan area in USA. (ben)
