MUSKINGUM ELECTRIC. HOW TRAINS RECEIVE COMMANDS

The wayside to train intermittent command communication system is used to give speed commands to the unmanned coal trains as they make roundtrips over the 15 mi railroad that is installed between the coal loading tipple and the Muskingum river power plant stockpile. Between terminals, the train receives commands every 4000 ft from inert coded units mounted between the rails.
