Branch Meeting Thursday 25 September: National Train Control VHF Radio Communications

The ONTRACK National Train Control Centre at the Wellington Railway Station communicates with the locomotive drivers out on the track using a VHF radio network. This month we were fortunate to have John Skilton, Manager Signals and Telecommunications Engineering at ONTRACK, and Stu Lusty from Kordia, speak to us about the upgrade of this train control VHF radio system and the new technologies that are being employed. An interesting and informative evening followed.
