ATC HELPS LAMCO MOVE INCREASING TRAFFIC

Controlling 12,000-ton trains of iron over the Lamco Railroad's undulating 267-km line in Liberia requires a high degree of precision to assure safety. With the possibility of annual movements exceeding the current 13.5 million tons, it was decided that safety and operating flexibility could be improved by supplementing the existing CTC with automatic train control. Integra's ISR72 system provides speed supervision and passing sidings and on open line where permanent or temporary speed restrictions are in force.
