Last time I checked into the situation, PTC isn't a braking system but an overlay to use an existing brake system.

Unfortunately, and I don't expect you ever to comprehend this, but this is wildly impractical in the real world.

The party of Trigger T Tomin and his handle du jour, which happens to be R L Dim Sum-walt at the moment.

Unless it was proposed by Congress and ratified by the President, it wasn't a law.

Just like those 1000 apes on their 1000 typewriters, for once you come up with something which is real.
> NS could have gone a long way in preventing this wreck if they would have just run solid trains comprised exclusively of cars carrying hazardous commodities and reduced the speed of those train to, say, 25 MPH. I believe S.P. and other railroads used to run trains like that and called them KEY trains.
SP specified 30 mph, and it was only in specific urban areas.
2.5 weeks later, Trans. Sec. Pete Butt. goes to wreck site and thinks it's a good moment for wisecracks. Residents not impressed
