alternate reality: they got used, and right now weens are pulling chips off them for christory bullshit.Bob's system only counted cars, while Kartrak identified them. Bob's patent was also filed when they were testing Kartrak and some other systems, so he likely missed his chance to get it tested. It probably could have gone somewhere if it was out a few years prior, but likely still would have been replaced by Kartrak.
I thought Bob was also involved with some kind of RF system for trains while at Western Electric (I think it had to do with telephones?) but I can't seem to find the patent.
cue the miscount of a trains cars and the biggest railway disaster in decades...
