CSX 9474 - Remote Control Car
Title:  CSX 9474 - Remote Control Car
Description:  CSAO Elizabethport Yard (ex-CRRNJ) Elizabeth, NJ 22 October 2010 CSX #9474 [RCC] Here is the second piece of unusual equipment I encountered this day. It is a RCC or Remote Control Car. This car is placed on the train where an engineer can operate the locomotive remotely from the platform (on the far end in this photo). After reading up this type of equipment in trainboard.com, I learned that capturing these cars on film is rare, because they are usually buried in a secure yard in operation. After learning this, now I want to catch this car in action!
