CNIS #412060 - Autonomous Track Inspection Car |
| Description: |
Caught this interesting track inspection car running immediately behind a twin CN loco lashup with a double stack container strettching behind. After researching it, this car is CN's state-of-the-art Autonomous Track Inspection Program (ATIP) which employs wireless communications to test and monitor real-time geometric track parameters without interrupting normal railroad operations. Powered by solar panels and a generator and travelling at revenue service track speed, our Autonomous Track Inspection Program uses the latest sensor and AI technology to deploy fully automated track inspections 24/7/365. |
