The Burlington was a leader in innovation; among its firsts were use of the printing telegraph ( 1910 ), train radio communications ( 1915 ), streamlined passenger diesel power ( 1934 ) and vista-dome coaches ( 1945 ).

They enabled the introduction of mid-train radio controlled locomotives ( called Locotrol by QR ), resulting in six loco, 10, 000 ton gross, 1.8 km long coal trains becoming the norm on the Goonyella system lines.

Re-building in the early 1990s involved the installation of train radios, MAN type 2866 UH with 162 kW power were installed, some of the electro-mechanical gearboxes were replaced with Voith Diwa D863 hydraulic gearboxes of a type used in buses.

The safety equipment in the driver's cab features either a mechanical or electronic deadman's device, punctiform automatic train controls ( now compliant with the new regulations with software version PZB 90 ), and train radio equipment with GSM-R communication.

In April 2004, the rail administration opened J�tt?Station, which was located close to Viking Stadion, the new home ground of the Norwegian Premier League side Viking FK . On 2 January 2007, the Scanet train radio system was replaced with GSM-R.

Many technical problems exist with the construction of any rail line that supports moving block, as this type of signalling system requires constant communication between signalling systems and trains, which is often achieved with a train radio system ( but can be achieved other ways ).

Safety equipment includes the dead man's switch system, Sifa, which is mandatory in Germany, as well as PZB 90 based on the I60R ( Class 628.4 ) or I60 with ER24 recording device ( Class 628.2 ) and train radio.

For Blue Line Siemens Transportation Systems has supplied the electronic interlocking Sicas, the operation control system Vicos OC 500 and the automation control system LZB 700 M . An integrated system comprising optical fibre cable, on-train radio, CCTV, and a centralised clock and public address system is used for telecommunication during train operations as well as emergencies.

According to surveys, many commuters had switched from private transport to rail . 5380 scheduled operations ran under ETCS up to 17 March 2016.95 percent of these ran without problems with ETCS . ETCS disturbances had occurred, among other things due to the incorrect actions of employees, problems with the digital train radio, problems with rolling stock and a systemic failure of the ETCS infrastructure.

Claims of unfair competition from CP as well as pressure on the government to create a public broadcasting system similar to the British Broadcasting Corporation led the government of R . B . Bennett ( who had been a corporate lawyer with Canadian Pacific as a client prior to entering politics ) to pressure CNR into ending its on-train radio service in 1931 and then withdrawing from the radio business entirely in 1933.
