About us
With more than 60 years of combined railroad experience, Midwest Signal Design delivers custom, safety-first railway-signal solutions—spanning wayside systems, highway-grade crossings, and vital application programming—for railroads across North America.
Our mission is to deliver high-quality and on-time custom-engineered signal systems that keep railroads safe, efficient, and future-ready.
WAYSIDE
We engineer high-performance wayside signal systems—delivering turnkey circuit packages, aspect charts, and signal maps in both MicroStation and AutoCAD.
CROSSING
Our crossing specialists design stand-alone and corridor-wide warning systems that prioritize motorist safety, combining solid-state predictors, motion detection, vehicle loop technology, and traffic signal pre-emption to ensure consistent warning times and seamless integration with adjacent signaling.
PROGRAMMING
Backed by North America’s most experienced signal coders, we write, simulate, and rack test interlocking logic for all major platforms—ready for seamless PTC integration when required.
NON-VITAL COMMUNICATIONS
We transform field logic into dispatcher-ready data by producing CTC/PTC track-line drawings, control-and-indication assignments, and surge-protected comm links—backed by radio-coverage permitting, standardized control-point naming, and 24/7 on-call support that keeps trains, and your operations team, perfectly in sync.
