NS Defect Detector Milepost 123.6 on the B-Line Old Voice

I Sware That Sounded The One That Use To Say U.P. Detector Mile Post 23.6, No Defects, Axles Count 340, Train Speed 34 MPH, Temperature 52 Degrees, Detector Out......

Its possible that it is the same voice. UP has some detectors that have this voice.

@Bessemer866 Yeah I Herd That UP Has Been Replacing them To A Female Voice And Most Of Them I Herd That They Been Giving To CP Rail.......

[Bessemer866]

Thats very possible, but either way I like both voices. The female voice they use was the same one that the detectors on B&LE once had.

@Bessemer866 UP's first talking detectors from the 80s had this voice, as did ones used by CNW, CSX, BN, Santa Fe, and I think Grand Trunk. Later on UP switched to the female voice

@cbehr91 BTW, TSA = Trackside Analyzer. It's what N&W called their hotbox detectors way back when (before 1990 or so it would have actually said "NW Trackside Analyzer").

Thats cool. NS had about 10 of these type detectors from cleveland to buffalo until just last year.
