This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 mandated certain railroads implement PTC by December 31, 2015. In prior work, GAO found that most railroads reported that they will miss this deadline due to numerous interrelated challenges caused by the breadth and complexity of PTC. GAO was asked to review the progress of PTC implementation since GAO's last PTC report in 2013. The current report examines (1) progress railroads have made in implementation and in addressing challenges, and (2) how FRA has overseen implementation. GAO reviewed relevant documentation, such as laws and regulations and PTC plans created by railroads. GAO used a structured interview guide to interview 29 railroads identified by FRA or others as implementing PTC- including the four largest freight railroads, 13 commuter railroads, and 12 smaller freight railroads-regarding their progress and challenges. GAO selected these railroads based on various factors, including size and geographic location and whether they are required to implement PTC. GAO also interviewed FRA officials and industry associations.

Book excerpt: " In the wake of a 2008 commuter train collision that resulted in 25 fatalities, RSIA was enacted. It requires major freight railroads, Amtrak, and commuter railroads to install PTC on many major routes by the end of 2015. PTC implementation, overseen by FRA, is a complex endeavor that touches almost every aspect of train operations on major lines. According to FRA, 37 railroads are required to implement PTC. GAO was asked to examine the status of PTC implementation. This report discusses, among other things, railroads' implementation of PTC to date and the challenges, if any, to meeting the 2015 deadline. GAO interviewed representatives from Amtrak, the four largest freight railroads, and seven commuter railroads, selected to represent a mix of locations, ridership levels, and PTC implementation status. GAO also interviewed PTC experts and suppliers, and reviewed FRA's PTC regulatory impact analyses. "

Book excerpt: The U.S. railroad industry consists mostly of freight railroads but also serves passengers. Freight railroads are divided into classes based on revenue. Class I freight railroads earn the most revenue and generally provide long-haul freight service. Freight railroads operate over approximately 160,000 miles of track and own most of the track in the United States; a notable exception is the Northeast Corridor, between Washington, D.C., and Boston, Massachusetts, which Amtrak predominantly owns. Amtrak provides intercity passenger rail service in 46 states and the District of Columbia and operates on 21,000 miles of track. Commuter railroads serve passengers traveling within large metropolitan areas and most operate over track infrastructure owned by Amtrak or freight railroads for at least some portion of their operations. Specifically, 9 commuter railroads operate over Amtrak-owned infrastructure. Sixteen commuter railroads operate over infrastructure owned by freight railroads.

Book excerpt: "Positive train control (PTC) is a communications-based train control system designed to prevent some serious train accidents. Federal law requires passenger and major freight railroads to install PTC on most major routes by the end of 2015. Railroads must address other risks by implementing other technologies. The Department of Transportation's (DOT) Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) oversees implementation of these technologies and must report to Congress in 2012 on progress in implementing PTC. As requested, this report discusses railroads' progress in developing PTC and the remaining steps to implement it, the benefits of and challenges in implementing other safety technologies, and the extent of FRA's efforts to fulfill the PTC mandate and encourage the implementation of other technologies. To conduct this work, GAO analyzed documents and interviewed FRA and rail industry officials. GAO also interviewed and surveyed rail experts. "
