RR MEN MASTER TECHNOLOGY

Railroad departments and functions cannot afford to become too compartmentalized. There is a need for an interchange of ideas among those concerned with the different functions of the railroad which can lead to fruitful technological development. Those areas considered essential to continued progress are improved car utilization through information systems, advanced communications and signal systems. The advantages of these systes are becoming evident as railroads increasingly rely on automatic car identification, computers and car information systems.
