A.G. Consulting was the mechanical engineers of record for the award winning, $76 million, 90,000 SF Arch Street Yard and Shop facility. The project won the “Award of Merit” for the “Best of 2005 projects” in the tri-state area. AG contributed to the design of a new major train storage yard in which up to 25 trains could be stored. This train storage yard allows trains to be cycled to and from the shop for inspection and repairs. Another component of the Arch Street Yard complex was a 900-foot-long high level center-island platform with full-length canopy that intended for the scheduled periodic Extraordinary Interior Cleaning (EIC) of train cars.
