RailComm to Expand Remote Control Yard System at BNSF Havre Terminal
October 8, 2007 --
BNSF Railroad’s Havre
Terminal in Montana will expand its existing RailComm Domain Operations
Controller (DOC®)
system by adding track protection and power switch automation
capabilities to strategic locations throughout the terminal. The BNSF
Havre diesel shop already utilizes RailComm’s remote control derail and
blue flag protection system through a DOC®
system installed earlier this year. “This is a perfect example of cooperation between the mechanical department and the operations department by utilizing the DOC® platform for completely different missions, while taking advantage of the same redundant servers to save cost,” comments Greg Fogarty, RailComm’s Senior Field Engineer. The trim tracks are controlled by the operations department from one DOC workstation, while the derail/blue flag protection system is operated by the mechanical department from a separate workstation. The DOC® logic server is sized to handle the load, plus offers substantial additional capacity for future expansion.For more information, contact RailComm, Inc., 1387 Fairport Road, Fairport, NY 14450.
