With the crony capitalist Republicans firmly entrenched in DC they'll uphold the regulatory capture of the FRA by giving the railroads yet another extension. And the railroads will miss that deadline as well. In the meantime crashes will occur that could have been prevented if the railroads had deployed PTC in a timely manner. I just hope there aren't too many people killed.But kudos to Mr. Worley for massively overstating the complexity of the system. |

Funny thing, facts. You must be taking lessons from Selkirk. |

Seems to me, there are more Capitalists in the Democrat party these days. After all how the heck would pay 650,000 to hear Clinton Speak.Besides Goldman Sachs, of course. ROAR |

Not all money is capital; only that which produces what is useful is capital. |

He's still buying the Rep-Dem false dichotomy too. "Crony capitalism" = left-wing state capitalism, derived directly from Lenin's New Economic Policy and refined by the Red Chinese. |

I can understand the big freight railroads having issues but MBTA and Metra?The requirement for an extension should be some show of significant progress; IE maybe all locomotives and 1/3rd the trackage have it... |

A bill sponsored by a Republican and with the PTC extension tagged onto authorization for transit and other ground transport items. Why should the Democrats have thrown the baby out with the bathwater when Republicans were threatening to drown the baby in that bathwater? |
