These two statements are in the full report in different locations:Real-time train status reporting is possible utilizing the ECP brake system's wire-based communications platform to transmit information from each car back to the locomotive. This could include such information as bearing condition or wheel problems, with resulting benefits for safety.The key to monitoring all of the benefits (and costs) of ECP brake systems will be to design a data capture program as part of the initial installation process so that each potential benefit and cost can be addressed in terms of pre- and post-ECP measurement and comparison. I assume that the data capture program will be dependent on the wire-based communications platform of the ECP brake system.  But if the data capture program is intended to enable the comparison of pre- and post-ECP performance, I wonder how the data will be captured from conventional, non-ECP trains.  Apparently, the data capture program would also include the wiring, monitoring, and testing of several conventional trains.  I would think they would have already done this testing of conventional trains.
