Abstract :
THE Santa Fe railroad has installed a microwave system between Galveston and Beaumont, Texas. The installation is being used to supplement existing wire-line communication and to obtain technical information regarding the operation and reliability of a microwave radio-relay system in this area. It was felt at the time the decision was made to install the system that, if microwave radio relay could be made to operate reliably in this area, it could be made to provide reliable service on other parts of the railroad where the terrain and atmospheric conditions would be more favorable to its use.
