[quote user="466lex"]Once “fully proven”, a “phased” installation would, again seems to me, present almost insurmountable problems of integrating operations on a network governed by multiple systems (PTC and legacy).  (Only slightly less mind-boggling is the idea that PTC will “go live” at 12:01 AM, Jan. 1, 2016, nation-wide.)[/quote] That seems to be the exact characterization of the quite comprehensive FRA report to Congress.  For instance, look at page 32-33 where it details the task of equipping 18,000 locomotives with PTC technology.  <a href="http://www.fra.dot.gov/eLib/Details/L03718">http://www.fra.dot.gov/eLib/Details/L03718</a> Not only does this mandate need to be executed, but it also has to be managed at every step of the way to verify the progress with the mandate and confirm it to the government.  I doubt the estimated cost will even pay for the paperwork.
