Caltrain announced today that it has terminated a contract with Parsons Transportation Group (PTG), the firm responsible for designing and implementing a Positive Control System or CBOSS. This contract was designed to implement federally mandated improvements to the train control system that will enhance safety and reliability of the railway.
The unusual action was deemed necessary after continued delays in delivering the project and an utter lack of progress in moving the project forward consistent with PTG’s contractual obligations.

Parsons, of course, also has their sticky fingers all over the California HSR project.
