WAGO in the Railway Industry

For more than 40 years, WAGO has been a staple of the Railway Industry. The operator-independent quality of WAGO's electrical interconnection technology, which features quick and easy handling, is only one of the reasons that this vibration-proof spring pressure connection technology has become an industry go-to. You can find our technology aboard electric and diesel locomotives, passenger railroad cars and double-decker vehicles, and in traction vehicles for regional, local and high-speed trains, trolleys and subways.

Infrastructure in Railway Stations

Railway stations and reception buildings contain various equipment and systems that are operated electrically and whose functionality must be monitored. This includes lighting controllers, evaluation systems and low-voltage switchgear that ensure passengers’ comfort and safety. Additionally, in railway stations, WAGO provides failsafe power supplies and data recording for various analog and digital signals.

Signal Technology at Railroad Crossings

Reliable, maintenance-free electrical connections are essential for signal technology at railroad crossings, as well as in railway stations. Proven WAGO connection technology has been used in the railway industry since the 1970s and has corresponding approvals such as UL1059 for cable box, point operating system, block system or signal box applications.

Point Operating Systems

Functioning point operating systems – whether operated electrically or hydraulically – are fundamental to preventing train failures. Therefore, operators rely on predictive maintenance – detecting possible defects before they arise. The WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM collects the data measured by sensors on these points and provides them to the control center. This allows the smallest deviations to be evaluated directly and repairs to be initiated.
