Automation System Commissioned
at Illinois & Midland Railroad

January 28, 2008 -- RailComm, Inc. has successfully upgraded Illinois & Midland Railroad’s existing interlocking control system to include a new Local Control Panel along with a web-based, remote control system.

The new control panel is connected to RailComm’s Domain Operations Controller (DOC®) System through a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery model. RailComm’s SaaS offering provides a “pay-as-you-go” model, thus eliminating capital equipment procurement constraints.  The Control Panel and DOC® System communicate to establish primary control of the field.  In addition to providing routing capabilities, the system includes switch control, gate control, switch heater control, train detection and a CCTV video camera interface.
