Hot Box Detectors - ROBOTIC Voices on the Railroad
HTML-код

- You may have heard a robotic voice on a railroad radio frequency before. That voice probably came from a defect detector. These often include so called "hot box" detectors. It may seem strange, but these devices serve a very important purpose.

This voice doesn’t sound robotic at all. This voice in particular is my favorite.
It's so interesting to hear defect detectors in the wild. However, I have learned they are not all the same. On some CSX they will even tell you the axel count, speed, and total length of the train! On NS, they only say if there is a defect or not, and doesn't give you any more information, but the same defect detector will chip the same message twice just seconds apart from each other.
I don't understand why the hot box detectors near East Palestine, Ohio didn't alert the crew of the hot box until it was too late
He's a real guy! Not a robot
I played the defect detector sound at lowest speed and it got me dying laughing
Thanks for Sharing the info about how the Railroad keeps an eye on their moving train cars. 👍
Progress Rail MicroHDB. Uses the voice of Randy Goyer.
Temperature detectors don't shoot an infrared beam, they look at the bearing that is radiating in thermal infrared. Hot objects emit infrared. If they get hot enough, they'll emit visible red or yellow light.
Awesome, thanks!
Ironically the defect detectors in my area along the CSX Berkshire/Boston subdivision used to say Conrail Defect Detector back In the early 2000’s, sadly as of now they no longer say Conrail and the software was replaced to say CSX
At the
This was very informative and well-produced. Thank you.
I don't think I can double like a video, so here's my second thumbs up. 👍 Thank you for all your work here on RUclips.
Nice video as always man! This train was Q583 but man I wish you could've heard that lead units horn...it has a very nice sounding RS3K. Had a hobo on one of the reffer cars.
I have the same exact radio just as you I sometimes use it for railfanning and chasing trains
Thanks for this cool and descriptive video! I'm still attempting a set up a recording system from my location to try and receive the SG 552.4 DD once more. It worked a while back in December up till January 12th with the TrainTenna from DPD Productions but lately it hasn't been coming in anymore.
Nice 👍
If you ever want to do a vid on track greasers and their equipment, come out to the Stone Mountain Railroad. There's a number of them in public access and you can get right up on them to examine the hardware.
You should’ve gotten the first train at a spot further up the line. That lead engine has an RS3K horn.
We have those on BNSF Too But I love the part saids repeat
