Union Pacific Corp. (UNP) on Monday said it has completed
implementation of the anticrash technology known as positive train
control, or PTC, a year ahead of the federal government's December
2020 deadline.
The Omaha, Neb., railroad company said the technology is now in
place on all of its federally mandated rail lines, including
required passenger train routes.
Congress in 2008 ordered railroads to install the system, which
it designed to prevent such incidents as train-to-train collisions
and derailments caused by excessive speed.
Union Pacific said 16 of the 25 freight and passenger railroads
it currently hosts are now compliant, encompassing 85% of its
interoperable PTC train miles. The company said it will work with
the remaining partner railroads in a bid to reach interoperability
by mid-2020.
