Regarding this FRA report: <a href="http://www.fra.dot.gov/eLib/Details/L03718">http://www.fra.dot.gov/eLib/Details/L03718</a>   The main thrust of the report seems to be that the railroads cannot meet the mandate deadline.  However, after learning about the incredible volume and complexity of unresolved technical issues in the present PTC art, I doubt that the development can keep up with the speed of the advancing science, let alone meet the implementation deadline.  This government mandate seems like a staggering overreach being foisted upon the railroad industry. It also raises this prickly question:  How many additional deaths will occur that would not have occurred had this PTC mandate not displaced and suspended the normal course of advance train safety development that the railroads have been pursuing on their own volition?
