RailComm expands Shove Track system at CSX’s Hamlet facility
July 21, 2008 -- RailComm has provided a shove track system configured for eleven tracks at the CSX Hamlet facility in Hamlet, North Carolina. The system provides remote indication of shove track status, allowing a train operator to know when his train has reached the limits of the shove zone.
A point-to-multipoint wireless data communications network has been established utilizing RailComm’s RADiANT™ Data Radio technology. This provides a communications link between the detection and indication locations. Three RailComm Shove Track Detection Panels have been interfaced to the existing track circuits to monitor track status, while two Shove Track Indication Panels were interfaced to existing indication relays.
