HOTSTART Exhibits at Railway Interchange 2015

Sep 1, 2015

Spokane, Wash. - HOTSTART will be exhibiting at Railway Interchange 2015 this October 4-6 in Minneapolis, MN. Visit HOTSTART at our indoor exhibit booth #3131 and our outdoor exhibit booth #518 to see the latest layover heaters for the locomotive industry. 

Since 1965, HOTSTART has been helping railroads stop idling and save money with engine heating solutions. HOTSTART heating systems include the APU (Auxiliary Power Unit)CLV Electric Layover Heater and the DLV Electric Layover Heater. Each of these heaters will be on display at the Railway Interchange event. The APU will be installed on a display locomotive provided by Independent Locomotive Service at the outdoor exhibit booth #518. The APU will be featured in a live demonstration showing how running the heater in place of idling the locomotive's engine keeps the prime mover above 100 degrees F, allowing railroads to shut down their locomotives instead of idling them while ensuring easy starts even in freezing environments. HOTSTART's indoor exhibit booth #3131 will have on display our electric layover heating systems as well as two APU heaters, one with cab heat and one without. Want to see how much fuel you can save? Use our Fuel Consumption Calculator to learn how much money you can save when you stop idling.

HOTSTART engine preheaters provide reduced fuel consumption, easy starts, reduced maintenance costs, and increased heating efficiency. We invite you to discuss with our HOTSTART representatives the various engine preheating solutions available including engine block heaters and oil heaters. No matter your need, with HOTSTART, you're ALWAYS READY.

Railway Interchange is sponsored by AREMA, RSI, REMSA and RSSI in what will be the largest ever such event in North America. Railway Interchange is in place of the separate exhibitions and conferences traditionally sponsored by these four organizations, providing railroaders from around the world a unique opportunity to see and hear all that is new and innovative across the entire rail supply industry.
