Does any one have dimensions on the FREDs and EOTs of today? I am talking about the end of train devices seen on class ones and well-to-do regionals and shortlines that feature two way telemetry and can report to the head end air pressure at the rear of the train as well as dump the air when called to do so in case of emergency.

There are several variations, but the one I just checked was 30" tall, 6" wide and 5" deep. The area where the light is, was 6 1/2" tall and added 4" onto the depth. The air hose was about 2 feet long.
Hope that helps.

That helps a lot! Thank you very much!

I didn't think to grab my camera to make sure it was clear what I was talking about. The part that sticks out with the light inside, is 2 or 3 inches below the top of the eot.
