Cuyahoga Valley railroad to implement GPS commentary system on excursion trains

The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad recently announced plans to launch an advanced Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) audio system on its excursion trains, which operate between Cleveland and Akron, Ohio.

Developed by AudioConexcus Inc., the system provides passengers tour commentaries triggered by GPS waypoints that describe various sights they see on the trip, such as the Cuyahoga Valley, Cuyahoga River and Ohio & Erie National Heritage Canalway. Passengers can hear the commentaries by using small wireless receivers and headsets. The system has been configured to accommodate 16 cars.
