The MP96 RCL is our non-speed
control top of the line locomotive radio remote control system with
many ACCUSPEED™ features 
and all of the quality and reliability. Offering the safety and
dependability required for operating machinery in harsh, industrial
environments the MP96 enables one operator on the ground
to effectively control switching operations and train movements.
The system provides the all-important extra margin of safety by
enabling the operator to input all commands out of harm's way while
having greater visibility along the length of the train.
The MP96 maintains the highest
level of signal integrity for the safest possible operation. Multiple
Processors provide simultaneous and independent data signal
processing of all incoming commands. Multiple "Watch Dog"
timers ensure no motion is carried out without a command from the
operator. Cattron-Theimeg continues to be the recognized technology
leader in the design and implementation of LRC (Locomotive Remote
Control) systems with more than 56 years of radio frequency experience
and nearly 10,000 locomotive and rail related installations worldwide.
