Genesee & Wyoming (G&W) subsidiary Bay Line Railroad has announced the signing of an agreement with Panama City Port Authority.

The agreement enables Bay Line to operate a Choice Terminal bulk transload facility at the port’s Intermodal Distribution Center (IDC).

The Choice Terminal will feature a 20-car rail yard, a five-acre staging area and other bulk transfer supporting equipment, beginning operations in November.

Great Western Railway has awarded a £6m ($7.28m) contract to Petards, a security and surveillance solutions provider based in the UK, to design, develop, supply and install eyeTrain systems to its Class 165 and 166 diesel multiple unit (DMU) trains.

"The contract includes construction of a 15km-long line, which includes 11.8km elevated metro and 3.2km underground."

The eyeTrain technology is designed to improve passenger safety and reduce operation costs by providing onboard train video products, and sensing solutions such as driver-only operation systems, condition-based monitoring, and passenger counting.

Engineering development of the integrated systems has already started, with completion scheduled in 2017, to be followed by the deliveries towards the end of 2018.
