The Tacoma train disaster, evidently the train going 80mph in a 30 zone, the potentially life-saving system called Positive Train Control (PTC) that could have warned the engineer that he was going too fast was not fitted with this technology.
In spite of this being a innovative rail modification to the system.
What is wrong with N.A. R.R. systems? There have been a few similar incidents in recent years with similar consequences.
To me, there is no reason for it in this day and age.
Many High speed rail systems world wide have all kinds of automatic safety systems in place.
Someone appears to be dropping the ball IMO.
Max.
