RailComm to provide
remote control derails
at CSX Willard Car Shop

November 5, 2007 -- RailComm has been selected to provide a wireless remote control derail system for the CSX Willard Car Shop in Ohio.

The system includes blue strobe lights to indicate derail status and is controlled from a centrally located push button control panel. Upon activation, service tracks are safely and immediately protected by the remote control of the appropriate derail device with blue strobe light indication.

The system includes over the derail protection circuitry which prevents derail operation while a train is in the protection zone. RailComm’s DOC® (Domain Operations Controller) software logs the name and trade of each craft controlling the derail, along with the date and time of derail control activity. This information can be used in FRA reporting and eliminates the need for a manual logging process.

For more information, contact RailComm, Inc., 1387 Fairport Road, Fairport, NY 14450.  Phone:  585-377-3360.
