RAILROAD TRAIN RADIO TO BE DEMONSTRATED IN WASHINGTON
Executives of 25 eastern railroads, members of the Federal Communications Commission, the Interstate Commerce Commission, and Army transportation officers have been invited to attend a demon¬ stration of railroad radio in Washington today (September 11) which the Potomac Railroad Yard management will conduct in association with the Farnsworth Television and Radio Corporation, Port Wayne, Indiana, which designed the equipment.
The system to be demonstrated is believed to be the first comprehensive installation of radio made in any large railway class¬ ification yard.
The installation includes a complete intercommunication network linking all major control points in the Potomac Yard, enabl¬ ing supervisory and operating personnel to maintain contact at all times and to monitor all communications between control points and train crews. In addition to mobile radiotelephone equipment in loco¬ motive cabs, remote control equipment has been installed on fore and aft locomotive platforms so that train crewmen working on the ground may keep in constant contact with all control points.
The demonstrat ion will climax several weeks of operational testing in which the very-high-frequency radio system has been adapt¬ ed to all requirements of the Yard. Principal purpose of the demon¬ stration is to show how radio installations of this type can help provide greater coordination among crew members and control points, as well as increased operating safety in a large classification center.
