Why have the railroads not voluntarily adopted PTC prior to this current mandate?  Have they simply refused to invest in something that is necessary; or have they refused to invest because it is not necessary?  If it is the former explanation, does that mean that Congress knows more about the safety issues and need for PTC than the railroads do?  Or is Congress simply forcing something onto the railroad industry that is unnecessary? With something as big as the PTC mandate, there is an obvious commercial agenda of the PTC industry besides just preventing accidents.   I wonder if that agenda pushed Congress to force a mandate on the industry that is not necessary.
