Dear Our Most Valued Partners
We would like to inform our partners of increasing concern about impending deadline for implementation of new railroad control system, PTC (Positive Train Control).
Repeated railroad accidents in the United States, including 2008 commuter rail crash in California, have aroused peoples attention to the need for safer railroad control system.
As a result, Congress mandated all class 1 railroads (annual carrier operating revenues of $250 million or more) in North America to implement PTC (Positive Train Control) system by Jan 1, 2016.
PTC (Positive Train Control) is a GPS - based wireless system designed to prevent collisions and over-speed derailments of every train on every track across the United States.
Since the deadline was announced in 2008, rail carriers have had five-year window to complete the implementation of the system. However, carriers seem to need more time.
Most railroad carriers have concluded that the implementation by current deadline would be unachievable and that the legislation to extend the deadline is necessary.
If the deadline is not extended, the carriers are subject to substantial fines. Therefore, they may shut down the service and stop running trains all together in order to avoid the fines.
Few lawmakers have made their move toward the extension at the behest of freight companies, but it is uncertain that the extension will actually take place especially after eight people died from Amtrak train derailment accident in Philadelphia earlier this year.
If the carriers really close down their service in the first month of next year, its economic ripple effect would be as big as a 2.6 percent reduction to U.S real GDP in the first quarter of 2016. Approximately 1.7 million daily commuters will have to find their alternatives to go work.
The unemployment rate is expected to rise by 0.3 percent, with a loss of 700,000 jobs. Meanwhile, at the end of September, the House of Transportation and Infrastructure committee introduced a bill of moving the deadline to 2018 and allowing additional two years for testing and validation.
We will keep an eye on this issue, and will keep you updated once there is any development.
