Re: End of Train Devices

Thanks for the info
The reason I asked is that QR is going to test one on the coalies on the NCA
line  It apparently will monitor pressure and possibly an emergency
application
can be made from the rear of the train but will not allow service
applications.
The unit is a Pulse brand made by a Westinghouse subsidiary

The frame with two lights has not been used for a few years now
Just a single light on the coupler

(F.Y.I. NCA = Newlands - Collinsville  - Abbot Point)
