People I've talked to about this thread have asked me whether CTC will continue to spread along the main lines, now that it's all-electronic and no longer a matter of relays-and-switches. The reason that might be extra significant for this thread is that CTC would mean easier "meets," and therefore the shorter, more frequent, faster trains that many in this Topic have voice just might be the wave of the future. I was reading CPR's Annual Report the other day and was surprised to see how little of their routage was under CTC -- less than a third, and they are considered to be a capital-rich, high-techish line with lots of single-track. How do you readers feel about this stew? Is more CTC the wave of the future and would it have the desired effect of speedier intermodal service?
