re: #150 wheat-dogg

Same old shit. They resisted installing the Westinghouse brakes, even though they were clearly more effective and cost efficient than having men risk their lives running from car to car to set the brakes by hand.

The auto industry is not much better. Remember how long it took them to install seat belts, then air bags?

One just has to look at the safety statistics on the Swedish Railroads to see the effects of an ATC/PTC system.
