Indiana yard cutover of new interlocking is complete

Written by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor

RailComm has completed cutover of a completely new switch interlocking at a North American Class 1 yard located in Indiana. Each switch machine or crossover in the interlocking can be controlled individually or in combinations to set entrance/exit routes through the yard.

 

Control to this interlocking is being provided by the DOC system over a combination of fiber and serial radio networks. RailComm’s DOC® is a single, off-the-shelf system that integrates control solutions.

RailComm is responsible for providing I/O switch controllers at four bungalows in which all new switches are wired. Each bungalow is also outfitted with a field control panel.
RailComm field control panels are hardened, outdoor rated, hardware-based control devices custom designed to provide field personnel with an intuitive remote control user interface. A numeric keypad for personnel PIN authentication provides security and controls access based on individual authorization and other user configurable parameters.
