HotShot™ Trackside Speedometers
Does your way freight engineer blow down the main line like a hot shot intermodal? Will that pokey Limited engineer be late again? Give your train crews the "guidance" they need to run at prototypical speeds, or see who can set a new record for that crack passenger train!
The HotShot™ Trackside Speedometer displays the scale speed of each passing train — and just like a highway speed trap, it sets off an alarm to catch another speed demon in the act.
And with a touch of a button, see how fast that last train was going, the high speed record for this session and over the lifetime of your railroad, and much more.
Watch HotShot™ Trackside Speedometer catch a speeding engineer in this action video.
