Anacostia to add RailPulse technology to Chicago-Indiana railroad
Anacostia Rail Holdings (ARH) will install telematic units supported by RailPulse on 100 newly delivered rail cars on its subsidiary Chicago South Shore and South Bend Railroad (CSS).
As a RailPulse subscriber, ARH and its shippers will have access to telematics for all cars tagged with the Amsted Digital Solutions IQ Series gateway telematics unit, ARH officials said in a press release. Information accessible through RailPulse includes estimated time of arrival, detection of geofence entry and exit, load status, impact detection, stationary loading and unloading information, monitoring of brake slide events and railcar dwell reporting.
“We have supported RailPulse since its 2020 inception and are enthusiastic about the coalition’s initiative to create an industry-wide opportunity to increase both shipment visibility and rail car safety,” said Eric Jakubowski, ARH vice president and chief commercial officer.
The CSS operates 127 miles between Chicago and South Bend, Indiana; and Chicago and Kingsbury, Indiana.
