Smarter Yard Management

Pathfinder provides seamless, centralized control of multiple rail yard functions through a single local control panel. Its real-time railcar tracking software enables crews to line switches, block routes, and manage switch lists from one user-friendly interface—whether from a central office or via a distributed area network.

Data-Driven Decisions

With detailed maintenance diagnostics, event logging and shift-based reporting, Pathfinder empowers maintainers and operators with valuable insights into yard performance and potential issues before they escalate.
