CrossingGUARD

Crossing Control & Warning

CrossingGUARD keeps yard crossings coordinated and controlled during active moves. Crossing status is also visible on the YardGUARD in-cab display, helping crews and operators align on the same conditions and reduce crossing-related disruption.

Part of YardGUARD’s real-time safety intelligence system – helping teams verify conditions and proceed with confidence.
