Cameron, NC Defect Detector
One of the things you will hear on RTP Railfan radio is defect detectors going off. On the CSX line at MP 168.3 there is a defect detector that my radio picks up. This transmission usually just transmits a “no defects” voice but sometimes you will hear a problem such as a hotbox defect or dragging defect. Today’s picture of the day is a defect detector near Cameron, NC on the CSX S-Line. Notice the “mat’s” along the rails, these are for detecting dragging objects from the cars.
