What if you jam the railroad communication on accident? Do you know what frequencies the engineer, conductors and operations center is using?

What if you jam the railroad communication on accident? Do you know what frequencies the engineer, conductors and operations center is using?
- amelius 5y agoWell first of all, if their service critically depends on wireless communication, then that's bad design. Further, I imagine you turn up the amount of power of the jammer until the person on the phone gets bad reception.
- jdavis703 5y agoI don’t know what you mean by critically. But everything from calling law enforcement for pedestrian and vehicle strikes to handling special operations (i.e. single tracking in a work zone) uses wireless communication. There are also defect detection systems that rely on radio transmissions to indicate if a train is for example dragging equipment.
- objectivetruth 5y agoIt's a train, of course their comms are wireless. They can't exactly just have a big spool paying out fiber from the back end.
