Posted by Jackson Park B Train on Tue Mar 30 16:21:25 2010, in response to Re: CALTRAIN Prepares for Electrification, posted by Olog-hai on Tue Mar 30 15:00:18 2010. Actually the current regs resulted from Silver Spring (Georgetown Jct) 1996 not the Chase incident. As I and others have maintained for years, that WAS a signal issue which would not have ocurred with cab signals/ATS 1950s technology. NTSB and FRA at the time ordered heavier "tanks" rather than better signaling/train control. Once we shift to train control measures and increased grade separation the "tank" solution becomes obsolete.I should mention that the NIMBYs on the Peninsula are apoplectic. |
