This is actually a really good video that features detectors made by at least three companies. MP 71.3, 85.5 and 131.2 are Progress Rail MicroTalker detectors, 128.6 is a Harmon Electronics detector, and 144.6 is a Southern Technologies Corporation detector. I don't know what 95.5 is. Anyway, nice collection of different detectors there!
On the CN freeport sub, I've only heard the south elgin DD and it has the same voice. for example: CN M338 would pass and it calls out CN DEFECT DETECTOR MILE 38.9 EASTBOUND TOTAL AXLES 344 TEMPERATURE 75.8 and then after 5 minutes it says CN DETECTOR MILE 38.9 NO DEFECTS
The UP detectors have the vintage SERVO/GE/Harmon male voice. The bad news is almost 100% of the UP detectors are no longer broadcasting on the road channels. If any defect or errors reported, it electronically sends it to the dispatcher and supervisors of the railroad. This was planned about two years ago.
I hear this all the time here in Idaho, "UP detector milepost 443.1, no defects, total axle (# of axels), train speed (speed) mph, temperature (temp)°, detector out."
Are you going to give credit to the various people who recorded these defect detectors? I have the MP3 recording of the detector at 0:32 which is the BNSF Detector for MP 85.5. Same track and axle count too, so I know you didn’t record that yourself.
im in the UK and wonder if these are in use in our country. Is it people monitoring the RF from the detectors or is there a computer monitoring it? If it's a computer monitoring it I would of thought it would of been a digital sound like a fax machine. I guess these days they would use mobile signal? Or RF better for remote locations?
In the UK the most commonly just relayed to the central dispatch or to the central monitoring office in the US because of how sparsely-populated it is and mobile service is almost non-existent in some States including mine it has been more common to just use the road frequency that is already used for dispatching trains to relay this information to Train Crew or sometimes be a satellite uplink to the dispatcher
That first BNSF detector sounds like a gameshow host.

Sorry for the background noise most of these where on Amtrak trains
that second bnsf one is creepy
TrainBrain 4vrs it's a older model mostly used on sub lines not used a lot so it's like an old conrail 80s speak and spell DD
Rhyon h really i mosty hear old conrail types
Sounds like that may be an ex-ATSF detector.....
same as the UP one
I was about to say that

Ferromex detector is better.
95.5 sounds like a Servo Cyberscan 2000 and is likely an ex-Santa Fe Detector.
oh ok

Yup sadly some of the recordings are years old from 07-13 so some may not be there anymore
yeah ik, it really sounds similar to the B&M & D&H one

1:09 1:46 harming defect detector that UP uses rarely
Harmon
0:48 1:46 sounds like I hear wheel of fortune in the background
RIP headphone users at the beginning
1:31 that WC defect detector came out of nowhere
An old STC Sentry System. Easy clue is faster reading and it uses "dot" instead of "point"
Banger song
the wisconsin central defect detector is at Byron WI south of Fond du Lac WI
+Trains of Northeast Wisconsin cool thanks I was thinking that it no longer existed
Downeaster Productions it's still there but it's in the new CN voice
Trains of Northeast Wisconsin oh cool
@@TrainsofNortheastWisconsin Actually, the 144.6 is in Lomira
128.6 has 2 sounds one is had a defect but the second time it sounded no defects
The second voice used to be on a bunch of CSX before before being replaced by the first voice
That up one tho
Wait 161.160 is my subdivisions radio number
Isn't MP 85.5 in Mendota, IL?
what is integrity failure
Do you have the original recording of the UP detector?
love it
Where is MP 128.6?
Are you going to give credit to the various people who recorded these defect detectors?

www.n8rrb.com/trains/sounds/railsounds.html some are recoded by the wayside
The voice for the detector at 1:30 is my favorite
No, I like the Union Pacific female Voice
that one sounds like a Pan Am Railways defect detector
Canadian Pacific detectors use the same voice
Zazur scanner radio 📻

Thank you for explaining.
The BNSF one is haunting me lol
Bro how did i found you
All recorded by Mike Yuhas... www.mikeyuhas.org/sounds/
And you got a problem with that
HE STOLE EM lol
