The outer switch time recorder (OSTR) is a micro-computer-based system developed by CN Technical Research to record and report the arrival and departure of trains as they pass over a predefined point called the outer switch limit. This point is where the pay rate changes from a mileage basis to a time basis or vice-versa depending on train direction. The OSTR records the time of arrival, direction, speed, and the number of axles of every train that goes by. 1, record 1, English, - outer%20switch%20time%20recorder

Les gens de la formation - S et C préfèrent parler de l'OSTR plutôt que d'utiliser l'expression enregistreur d'heure d'entrée-sortie de triage parce que OSTR est plus connu des employés et, surtout, plus court. 1, record 1, French, - enregistreur%20d%27heure%20d%27entr%C3%A9e%2Dsortie%20de%20triage
