At least parts of Metrolink territory had an ATS system inherited from ATSF, which enabled 90 mph operation, but that system was removed during an overhaul, and apparently the plan in the 1990s was that Metrolink would install cab signals, something that they never got around to doing. Reportedly, appropriate track circuits were installed in some places that would enable cab signals to work, but nothing else came of it. |
