Posted by Jackson Park B Train on Mon Nov 16 14:22:21 2009, in response to Re: Obama administration proposing federal oversight of subways and light rail, posted by nasadowsk on Sun Nov 15 19:48:43 2009. states rights were settled at Appomattox.Do you really want different safety standards in each state? different traffic signals? different block signals? We have fairly clear evidence that in at least one recent Amtrak case a wreck occurred partially because the engineer mis interpreted the aspect on NS(former PRR/C&WI joint trackage) because he was more used to a different aspect system on other routes. There should be no problem having separate standards for isolated (from the national rail network) and non isolated systems, but having rail safety experts used to rail issues seems the right path. |
