FAQ

WHAT KINDS OF TRAINS DO NS CORPORATION SYSTEMS WASH?

NS Corporation provides train wash systems for commercial vehicles. These include subways, transit systems, passenger trains, and cargo trains. Our design teams can work with you to match the size and wash volume needed for your trains to ensure reliable turnaround times without sacrificing cleaning quality.

HOW DO TRAIN WASH SYSTEMS ACCOMMODATE DIFFERENT TRAIN SIZES?

Similar to how car wash systems can accommodate vehicles of different sizes, a railroad car wash can utilize moving parts that adjust to larger and smaller trains as needed. When working with a design team, you can specify dimension ranges, and the system design can accommodate your needs.

ARE TRAIN WASH SYSTEMS ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY?

NS Corporation provides environmentally friendly and sustainable wash solutions. With parts that use water more efficiently, water recycling systems, and environmentally friendly cleaning solutions, you can minimize your environmental footprint while extending the lifespan of your trains with fast, efficient cleaning.

HOW ARE TRAIN WASH SYSTEMS MAINTAINED?

NS Corporation provides post-installation services that can help you with ongoing wash system maintenance. From scheduled maintenance to schedules and planning, we can ensure that you have the resources needed to take great care of your wash system for years to come.

DO TRAIN WASH SYSTEMS COMPLY WITH TRANSIT AUTHORITY REGULATIONS?

Yes. At NS Corporation, we routinely work with transit authorities across the country in order to ensure compliance. Our design process takes regulations into account and works with them to keep your trains clean and compliant. We also strive to futureproof systems against changing regulations.

WHAT POST-INSTALLATION SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE?

We offer a combination of warranty guarantees and after-sales support. While warranties cover manufacturing and design defects, additional support services can cover regular maintenance alongside scheduled service plans that intend to maximize the life of your railroad car wash system. You can speak with a representative to discuss custom post-installation services that ensure your wash system will operate as needed.

HOW MANY CARS CAN BE WASHED PER HOUR?

The number will vary widely depending on the specifications of your custom train wash. At the highest ends of efficiency and throughput capabilities, train washes can clean up to 200 carriages in a single hour. For lower demands, fewer cars may be processed each hour, but every train wash is designed specifically to meet schedule and volume expectations. That is, the train (or trains) can be washed, in full, according to the schedule you describe to our design team.

HOW CAN I GET STARTED WITH A NEW WASH SYSTEM?

Contact NS Corporation today. We can put you in touch with a representative who will get to know your transit system, train types, volume, and general needs. We will partner you with designers and engineers who can customize your system to match your specifications. We build systems in house, and we can install them onsite.
