RailComm to add TWC capabilities to Lake State Railroad’s DOC® System

April 7, 2008 -- Lake State Railroad Company in Saginaw, Michigan is incorporating RailComm’s Track Warrant Control functionality into its existing Domain Operations Controller System (DOC®). Over the past two years, Lake State Railroad Company has dispatched trains within CTC territory by utilizing RailComm’s state-of-the-art DOC® control system. With the seamless addition of the Track Warrant Control module, Lake State will achieve an integrated view of all train traffic within their territory.

The DOC® software-based control system is an advanced command, control, communications and information (C3i) server-based platform that supports a wide variety of integrated solutions for indication, control, access and distribution of critical operational data across the corporate enterprise. The DOC® system is designed with built-in expansion capabilities for adding workstations and/or field control nodes without interrupting operation of the current system. This is evident in the Lake State Railroad DOC® System, as RailComm’s modular architecture will allow for a seamless addition of TWC functions.

The system additions also include Electronic Train Sheets. The train sheets are maintained by the system for a three year period, in accordance with FRA regulations.
