In this thread <a>http://cs.trains.com/trn/f/111/t/266914.aspx</a> the reasons for not straightening the 30 mph curve are discussed. In one post is stated that the contractor who installed the PTC system had promised to have it ready when the bypass inaugurated. This didn't happen for a number of reasons. So there would have been a system protecting against overspeed if everything had gone as planned. I don't see the need for an overlay speed control system. Thes are still manual not an automatic operated trains. The was an advanced warning sign, the engineer has his timetable showing speed restriction and he has hopefully had knowledge of the territory.
