Posted by Jersey Mike on Wed Mar 29 09:08:45 2017, in response to Findings on Capital Corridor incident, December, posted by TransitChuckG on Tue Mar 28 17:13:17 2017. My take away is that there is more that sufficient safety margins built into the existing system to make the added expense of PTC unecessary. Furthermore, the far less costly technology of Cab Signaling + ATC would have also prevented this sort of incident.The real outrage is that PTC will depress operational speeds through the turnout or other restrictions to below the current limits when the current limits were designed with substantial safety margins to account for human error. Why is nobody setting PTC limits closer to the actual critical points or raising speeds in general? |
