How long do you all think it is before we see these on the tracks? Tags transportation

I have worked on rail applications and its either phenolics or thermoplastics, this is a very good idea though as the floors in trains are still made from wood. Hi Scott Racing, would love to hear more about your experience in your rail, and how you see composites being integrated into subways/long-distance trains in the next few years?
