Hi;
Can anyone tell me if the EDD (Equipment Defect Detector) on the River sub at mp 7.2 Bogota NJ has been moved?
When it comes over the radio now, there is no milepost info, and it seems that I hear the report from the EDD too shortly after the train crew reports CP or automatic 7 for northbound trains for the length of the train.
My guess is that the detector has been moved to the vicinity of CP5.

Thanks. Guess the mp info was removed to make the radio transmission shorter. As for the perceived time between CP7 report by the crew and the EDD report, it was probably a short train <g>
