GWI railroads use RailComm dispatch system
Written by William C. Vantuono, Editor-in-ChiefFairport, N.Y.-based RailComm said Monday it has provided the GCOR dispatch system for Greenwich, Conn.-based Genesee and Wyoming’s (GWI) 16 Southern Region railroads.
RailComm’s state-of-the-art Domain Operations Controller (DOC®) train control system is accessed through a web-enabled Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery model. RailComm’s SaaS offering provides a “pay-as-you-go” model, thus eliminating capital equipment procurement constraints.
Through SaaS, GWI’s railroads can be remotely dispatched by G&W anywhere an Internet connection is available, RailComm says. That makes it possible to relocate the dispatchers to alternative locations as required. Additionally, railroad management can log in from offices, homes, or even from hotels and directly view dispatching activity and management reports.
