FRA Sees PTC Gains, but Some Railroads May Miss Target

摘要

U.S. railroads are making headway toward meeting the year-end deadline for having automatic train control systems in place, but nine commuter-rail lines remain "at risk" of failing to hit that target, the Federal Railroad Administration says. To help railroads with their positive train control (PTC) push, FRA has awarded $203.7 million in grants for such items as wayside signals and fiber-optic communications systems.
