[quote user="PNWRMNM"]It is a foregone conclusion that the NTSB will bang the drum loudly about PTC, which frankly has nothing to do with this wreck. [/quote] PTC has nothing to do with this accident directly as it was not implemented yet. The accident could have been avoided with a working PTC so it is a topic in this case. I think the NY Times article sums it up quite nicely. Expensive safety measures are mostly pressured by public or politics. If a single RR would precede it would be at an economical disadvantage. What I don't understand is the following. IDOT ordered new designed locomotives, the Siemens SC44 Charger. The locomotives were delivered als NTSB told without on-board PTC equipment though it is cristal clear that they will need it briefly. Regards, Volker
