In the rail industry, any
In the rail industry, any incident or failure the Locomotive data recorder gets downloaded straight away. We can get info on what the engine was doing, brake applications, power, speed and on the newer locos camera footage. Very handy tools for troubleshooting or hanging drivers out to dry!!!
