As rail operators work to expand capacity, upgrade rail infrastructure and complete routine maintenance along the nation’s 21,400-mile passenger network and 140,000 miles of freight rail, Eaton is uniquely qualified to serve as your conductor for improvements and modernization. In order to meet evolving economic demands, customer expectations and regulatory requirements, today’s railways require innovative and highly reliable rail infrastructure modernization solutions. Rail operators must find ways to reduce downtime, increase productivity, enhance safety and security, and drive profitability — all while making the industry more sustainable for the future.
More than $66B billion in federal funding between the IIJA and ARPA is going toward railway modernization projects and programs.
Whether you are seeking to expand line capacity, improve safety and profitability, or maximize sustainability, Eaton stands ready to support America’s federal clean energy, stimulus and infrastructure initiatives and help address the critical needs of rail infrastructure.
At Eaton, we stand ready to support America’s federal clean energy, stimulus and infrastructure initiatives and build a stronger future for our families and communities. Learn about these funding opportunities and how we can help.

Unscheduled downtime can cause rail operations to grind to a halt, impacting passengers, shipments and critical systems that depend on high availability and 24/7 communication. Optimize the lifespan and performance of your equipment with solutions that provide maximum reliability and the lowest total cost of ownership, coupled with engineering competencies that reduce downtime and project risk, save time during installation and minimize maintenance disruption.
Modernizing infrastructure — such as upgrading switchgear, relays, breakers and trip units — can help rail operators to reduce bottlenecking, build line extensions and improve economic competitiveness, resulting in reliable, safe, comfortable and cost-effective travel. Simplify operations through a streamlined power distribution system that connects components, assemblies and monitoring systems so they work together efficiently and effectively.
As consumers demand more eco-friendly operating practices and action on climate change, rail companies are increasingly setting emissions targets and joining sustainability initiatives. Eaton can help railways use electricity more efficiently, from microgrids that store energy to keep lines operational during an outage to solutions that provide sitewide metering and monitoring.
Eaton understands that nothing is more important than passenger and personnel safety. With one of the largest and most experienced teams of electrical engineers and field service specialists in the industry, we are uniquely qualified to help rail operators achieve all of their safety objectives through a comprehensive offering of services and solutions, such as emergency lighting, remote monitoring capabilities and preventive maintenance
