Standard practice is for UP detectors to only broadcast the Entrance message.
Just keep this in mind --NO exit message unless a defect is found.

So the UP has done the same thing as BNSF in regards to their defect detectors? As was stated, only the "entrance" message is broadcast on a UP detector now - which beats BNSF (which say nothing unless a defect is noted). Going to miss the "exit" message of axle count, train speed, and temperature - but technology races on.
