TOTAL COMMUNICATIONS EXCHANGES

Microprocessor technology has been developed to tie telephones, talkback speakers and radio into a coordinated communications package for classification yards or for mainline dispatching. The Safetran TCX (Total Communication Exchange), based on PABX telephone switching principles, provides a previously impractical coordination of the various communications paths, including organizational and informational assistance, conferencing and communications management. Initial application of TCX has been made in Chessie System's Queensgate Yard in Cincinnati.
