The Pittsburgh Port Authority’s overhead maintenance vehicle (OMV) is a self-powered diesel vehicle used for various maintenance and repair tasks on the authority’s light-rail system. Due to modernization of Pittsburgh’s track system, the vehicle could no longer be operated from strictly one end, and therefore the vehicle then required a rear-facing cab. 

RailPlan designed, manufactured, and oversaw the installation of a self contained operator’s cab for the rear of the vehicle.  The assembly consists of an FRP modular cab, tubular steel safety cage frame, and all of the necessary controls to drive/operate the vehicle.  The cab assembly was designed to be mounted to the vehicle with minimal modifications to the vehicle’s frame.
