1. Is the new, mandated positive train control system a g.p.s.-based system using satellites?

2. Is such a system fail-safe?

3. On a double-or-more-track railroad, can the system determine with certainty which track he train in on?

I would like you to explain why the new p.t.c. is not adding any safety to operations.
