California’s Pacific Surfliner to Install Safety Equipment
The department said Wednesday it will provide matching funds so that a total of $50 million will be spent on installing a computer system that can stop trains headed for a collision course.
By law positive train control technology, which relies on global positioning systems, must be installed by 2015 in response to the 2008 deadly crash of a Metrolink commuter train and a freight train in Los Angeles.
The Pacific Surfliner corridor is the second busiest of five intercity passenger rail routes operated by Amtrak California.
