Atlantic Track & Turnout acquires patterns, patent rights from Conley Frog and Switch

Atlantic Track and Turnout Co. has added additional capacity for the supply of bridge, sliding and expansion joints for fixed and movable railroad bridges. With the purchase of certain inventory, patterns and patent rights, the acquisition will expand Atlantic Track's range of bridge products to include an all-rail design expansion joint for CWR installation; Conley-design two and three piece manganese joints for movable bridges and easer rail arrangements for both vertical lift and swing-type bridges. The purchase also expands Atlantic's range of products for use in track scales. Atlantic Track offers a complete line of Conley manganese bridge and sliding joints, as well as a newly-patented easer rail arrangement that carries the train wheel over the gap between the rails on the land and bridge.
