BNSF adds RailComm Remote Control Derail System
March 16, 2009 – RailComm recently provided a complete Automation System to control derails within BNSF Railway’s Amarillo Yard in Texas. RailComm’s industry-leading and outdoor-rated Operator Control Panel provides wireless remote control to several bi-directional derail locations within the yard. Proximity Detection Loops were selected to provide reliable “over the derail” protection, preventing the derail from being remotely operated when a locomotive is in the protection zone. RailComm’s Operator Control Panel features an event recorder function, which logs all commands and indication state changes from each derail machine.
RailComm’s 2.4 GHz RADiANT™ data radios provide a wireless communications network to link the control panel with the field locations.
