Digital Railroad™
 
At any given moment a major railroad
has hundreds of trains moving over tens
of thousands of miles of railroad track.
R
Digital Railroad, a set of information
and wireless technologies controlled by
GE’s Precision Dispatch System software,
helps railroads navigate through the
maze of tracks and hundreds of unfore-
seen events, from unscheduled track
repairs to heavy snow, to improve on-
time performance and free up capacity
for growth. Norfolk Southern Railway,
the system’s first customer, is targeting
an increase in system velocity of one
to three miles per hour in the first phase
of implementation, which translates
into a significant increase in freight-
carrying capacity.
