Bob2, sorry to hear about your friend. Signal engineers are a special folk that sometimes dont get all the respect they deserve.
I will also add that my contact who had been working for SJ said that the advanced warning systems with the smart island system has been around since at least 1975 when he began working as an engineer (driver). The technology was well in advance of image technology and is still in use today.
Granted with advancing imaging technology today it may be easier, but certainly more expensive.
