[quote]QUOTE: <br />On CSX crews are required to announce signal indications and locations as well as the entrance to DTC blocks on the radio on the road channel for the sub-division the train is operating on.....This is the single most important rule change that has been implemented in the prevention of head on collisions.... <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />That's done up here in Canada too, BC Rail and CP rail for sure -- not to sure about CN. <br /> <br />You'll hear on the scanner sometimes, "BCR 4660 South Passing Mile Post 26" <br /> <br />Or something to that effect. <br /> <br />Keep in mind they also have speeders going 2-3 miles ahead of most trains on BC Rail, so calling out their location doesn't always seem to be all that necessary... I suppose they have to according to the rules.
