Railserve: REAct safety devices

Railserve offers the REAct safety device, which enables employees to stop trains while bypassing communication to the engineer when a hazard is identified.

Crew members activate the emergency stop button on the REAct Transmitter Remote that’s worn on their reflective safety vests. Emergency stops can occur in as little as a half car-length, or about 26 feet, depending on conditions, according to the company.

It can’t be reset until a crewmember pushes the button, sending another signal indicating the hazard has been resolved.
