Description
Description | In 2008, Congress passed the Rail Safety Act. This required passenger and some freight railroads to implement Positive Train Control (PTC). PTC is an integrated command, control, and communication system for better managing trains. PTC prevents: train-to-train collisions, over-speed derailments, unauthorized operation of trains into track areas with workers on-track, train movements through improperly aligned switches, and PTC also stops trains prior to highway crossings with failed warning equipment. The MTA has hired a joint venture of Bombardier and Siemens to perform the system design and upgrades that would bring us to full PTC on both the Long Island Rail Road and Metro North Railroad. |
