Jamie, <br /> <br />>Generally the railroad sets the alarm limits for its detectors. Further, the <br />>procedures to be followed once a detector sounds off vary by railroad (believe <br />>it or not, on my old show the HBDs and WILDs are monitored in central <br />>Canada. Also believe it or not, the system works...). <br /> <br />We have the same technology. A database replication allows it. <br /> <br />>Quite right about setting a car out of a train. It's a nuisance and will delay you. <br />>On the other hand, the same could be said for a derailment... <br /> <br />Exactly! But our officers do not keep in mind that! <br /> <br />>As far as I know no railroad would send a claim to the HBD manufacturer. Too many other variables. <br /> <br />I only know the math term "variable" :). What is meaning in this case? <br /> <br />>They'd probably have to sue, and who needs that? <br /> <br />For example, to return the losses because of delay. <br /> <br />>Who is now inspecting bearings and wheels? Other than roll-bys, which is everybody's responsibility? You get an alarm, the conductor gets to take a hike.. <br /> <br />It's now clear. Thank you for the answer. <br /> <br />Alex.
