RailComm completes cutover of yard control system for Ferromex

Written by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor

RailComm completed the installation of a remote control system at , what the company called, a critical Ferromex location in Mexico. This marks the second fully operational yard automation solution in the state of Coahuila and the continued expansion of RailComm's presence in the Mexican rail market.

 

RailComm says the system is expected to improve operational reliability and control center visibility of division junctions at this location. With the automation of switch machines, Ferromex can avoid slowing down or stopping trains entering the location to reduce delays at the yard limits, as well as increase the safety of the train crews.

The control and monitoring of wayside equipment at this location is being provided by a redundant RailComm DOC® Yard Control System over a combination of fiber, microwave and serial radio networks. RailComm’s DOC is a software platform that integrates control solutions for rail yards.
