Working for a railroad company myself, I can tell you that this stuff is new. Since the Lac Megantic issue in Quebec, US government gave strict timelines for them to put this in place. Hopefully it gets better. I know we're trying.

no choice. It's insanely difficult. we keep pushing congress as well (and we're a canadian company).

Our government chooses corporate profit over human safety almost every time. Keep on pushing :)

by pushing, I mean pushing the deadline. We've been working on ours for years!
-
Ah yes Haha I read it as the people need to keep pushing congress. No more deadline pushing.
-
It's not that we don't want to... it's the deadlines that congress gave were impossible to be met.

Human error yet again.

PTC isn't human. It's supposed to be automatic. My guess, the PTC technology isn't very good. I work for a large railroad company and we're not even done with our own.

Wow, They had better build a better and sophisticated mechanism because lives matter.
-
Ya I know. It's not easy, but Congress won't give you a chance. We've been working on ours for years. We're all trying to prevent this from happening.

This is a misleading headline. It wasn't activated because it isn't completely installed. Not because it was deactivated
