[QUOTE]Originally posted by Greg: [QB] One of the NTSB recommendations from the 2002 BNSF/Metrolink crash in Placentia was for installation of PCTS: http://www.ntsb.gov/Pressrel/2003/031007.htm "The Safety Board also reiterated a recommendation to the Federal Railroad Administration to facilitate actions necessary for development and implementation of positive train control systems that include collision avoidance, and require implementation of positive train control systems on main line tracks, establishing priority requirements for high-risk corridors such as those where commuter and intercity passenger railroads operate." A former head of the NTSB interview on KNX radio over the weekend thought the latest accident might be enough for Congress to finally mandate PTCS installation. [/QB][/QUOTE]
