This feature will reduce time spent at the kiosk by eliminating screen requests and touches – cutting current entrance gate times by more than half. • Have up-to-date status information on shipments assigned to you once it is in your personalized "My Units" screen. • Update Parking: You will have the ability to update your assigned parking location directly through the RailPASS app eliminating the need to call your dispatcher or flag down a yard checker when there is an existing shipment in a designated spot.
