Creating a Pack - Signal Box & ECO Information

Providing accurate information about Signal Boxes and Electrical Control Operators (ECOs) is crucial for effective communication and safety during railway operations. Accurail offers a comprehensive system for inputting this vital information. Let's explore how to use this feature effectively:

Accurail aims to simplify your workflow by pre-populating Signal Box information:

  • When you enter location details, the system automatically suggests relevant Signal Boxes.

  • This pre-population is based on the most up-to-date information available in our database.

    While pre-population is convenient, it's crucial to verify this information against relevant documentation.

Searching for Signal Boxes / ECOs:

  1. Click on the dropdown menu to see a list of pre-populated options.
  2. Use the search function to filter through the list quickly.

Adding Multiple Entries:

  • If your work involves multiple signal boxes or ECOs, use the "Add Row" button.
  • This allows you to add as many relevant signal boxes or ECOs as needed for your work.

Custom Entries:

  • If you can't find the required signal box or ECO, or if the information is out of date, use the "Add Custom Box" option.
  • This opens a free text field where you can enter the necessary information.
