RailComm to add TWC capabilities to Lake Superior & Ishpeming Railroad’s DOC® System
November 10, 2008 – Lake Superior & Ishpeming Railroad (LS&I) is incorporating RailComm’s Track Warrant Control functionality into its existing Domain Operations Controller System (DOC®). Over the past two years, LS&I has dispatched trains within CTC territory by utilizing RailComm’s state-of-the-art DOC® control system. With the addition of the Track Warrant Control module, LS&I can now seamlessly dispatch both its CTC and its dark territory from the same control desk.
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 LS&I DOC® System, as RailComm’s modular architecture will allow for a seamless addition of TWC functionality.
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.
