[QUOTE]Originally posted by yukon11: [QB] I was also wondering about PTC, "Positive Train Control". I did not even know what PTC was until the term appeared in a newspaper column, this summer, in regard to the proposed SMART train (Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit) which, if approved on the Nov ballot, will have a train between Larkspur, north of the Golden Gate, to Cloverdale, Calif. SMART will run on Northwestern Pacific tracks, and the newspaper column said there could be problems in cooperation if the train initiative is approved and it starts running in a about six years. SMART wants PTC, but Northwestern Pacific says that Positive Train Control is unrealistically optimistic". The NWP will not only have to coordinate its acitivity with SMART, but it has to establish cooperation and connection schedules with Union Pacific (ugh!), especially in regard to a solid-waste train that NWP plans to operate. This is going to get interesting if the SMART train initiative passes in November. Richard [/QB][/QUOTE]
