"so... in 2015, amtrak can't track every train?"


  

          

-On fixed routes btw

and know how fast theyre going? And notify conductors when they goin 2 fast or too slow?
Am I missing parts of the story?

That doesn't take a million dollar system. .. i could fix that for $200 (plus $150k consulting fee)


And you people want bullet trains? ?

http://www.npr.org/2015/05/15/406938623/why-did-amtrak-train-accelerate-into-a-curve-before-derailing


"Details of Philadelphia's train crash investigation remind us how much we do not yet know. Investigators do know the train was moving too fast into a curve. Video shows the train accelerating into that curve. It is still not clear why, though. Also this week, many Americans learned of technology that can prevent a train from going too fast. The president of Amtrak now says that safety system was installed in the area where Amtrak train 188 sped off the tracks. It wasn't switched on yet. Testing was still needed to make sure the technology was working. NPR's Nathan Rott reports."



"ROBERT SUMWALT: Sixty-five seconds before the end of the recording, the train's speed went above 70 miles per hour.

ROTT: Twenty-two seconds later, it was going above 80.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

SUMWALT: Sixteen seconds before the end of the recording, the train's speed was going through 100 miles per hour."



so yes they do have something, no it wasnt implemented yet. the train started accelerating for a grand total 65 seconds, i dont think thats alot of time for someone to verbally warn a conductor over a radio or something

even repairs let alone new projects.
The GOP dream of a cowboy dystopia is coming true.
Read an article the other day that said this same train used to go faster 50 years ago.
Damn shame.

They never come out and say it but this is what the GOP blather about gov spending,cutting taxes,small gov etc.etc.boils down to.
Even without a Republican president they fight for this stuff tooth and nail in congress.

We get briefs all the time about dispatch losing track of a plane. That's one of the reasons the FAA is moving to NextGen technology but it's a 10 year roll out for that.
