[quote user="mudchicken"] Bucky Russ: That area out there is double main track CTC with speeds for freight trains nominally anywhere between 30 and sixty MPH dependent on geometry. McPherson is the end of double track, east of Ellison. McPherson to Red Oak is single main track because of the Nishnabota River bridge. Photos don't tell you much right now. PTC has yet to prove itself, has no long term track record and is still a work in progress. (IMHO) <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] My concern is not about the potential effect of PTC.  I was just wondering; between the two trains, whose responsibility was it to avoid the collision?  Would it be correct to assume that the coal train should have had a stop signal in advance of the work train? Or do we just not know the details of the two train movements at this time?
