CSX Erwin Terminal adds RailComm system
Written by William C. Vantuono, Editor-in-Chief
Fairport, N.Y.-based RailComm says it has installed a shove track detection and indication system that complements its yard control system at CSX’s Erwin Terminal in eastern Tennessee, near the North Carolina border.
The system provides remote indication of shove track status, allowing train operators to know when trains have reached the detected limits of the shove zone. The shove track system interfaces to the existing RailComm Domain Operations Controller (DOC®) System and provides field indications and shove track status on the DOC® System graphical user interface.
RailComm 2.4 GHz RADiANT™ data radios provide a wireless communication network to link office and field locations.
