Positive Train Control Benefits On October 16, 2008, Congress passed the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 requiring implementation of PTC by Dec. 2015. An approved PTC System must prevent the following: Train-to-train collisions. Over-speed derailments. Injuries to workers as the result of unauthorized incursions by train into a work zone. Movement of a train through an improperly aligned switch

What PTC Does

What Signaling Systems Do LIRR/MNR Have Today? Railroads primarily rely on Automatic Speed Control (ASC) with CAB signaling Monitors train speed Maintains safe braking distance Maintains train separation Exceptions: MNR Waterbury Branch LIRR segments Railroads’ ASC Improvements Civil Speed Enforcement
