Well Im sure we all know of the Defect-Detector boxes that all class 1 railroads use. I have always wondered about the mileage placement. Are these boxes placed by set miles, every 10? 15? etc.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Not necessarily. CSX has a new breed of detector that's been installed in three locations to my knowledge (A295.6, A651.9 on the A line from Richmond to Tampa and SX952.1 on the SX line from Auburndale to Miami). These detectors have a new voice (one [now retired] Conductor even said "It sounds like an idiot") that end with "Detector out." I have several mp3's of the DD's (I have way too much time on my hands) if anyone would like to hear a few different varities.All the CSX ones say "End of transmission."
