Computers can't slow a train but they are going to control 'Driverless' cars and TRUCKS!!!
Computerized Train Control installed on tracks in the area, not on the locomotives. NTSB has recommended installation for years, AMTRAK has been dragging out installation.
News talks about all the new tracks in the area, but that overpass has been in place as long as I can remember. May have a new road bed and rails, but that has always been a slow area.
