Here is a photo of the standard hand controller screen compared to the brighter screen outdoors in the sun.
To see the RailPro system operating at the NGRC Portland, OR, please visit Terry Meyer’s layout during the tours. I will not be able to attend. Terry has the system with the brighter hand controller screen installed in his USAT SD-40.
