Why did they rip put the ATCS on this line ? There used to be over the air ATCS in Topton and Emmaus and the west and east end of the yard behind Bethlehem Steel and through Easton into NJ. They had the data on channel 5, the BCPs were on 936.9375 MHz and all the signals and switches and track block indicators were on MCPs on 897.9375 MHz. If they had these on the air and the locomotives equipped with the ATCS PTC it would show the red signals and stop the locomotives before they reach them. We absolutely need that safeguard against human error.

@Wildfire868727 ай бұрын
ATCS just deals with controlling switches and signals. It's not part of PTC. At least the old version of it. If you are no longer getting data, more than likely it's been converted over to the new 220Mhz ITCM that is piggybacked on PTC. If they removed CTC from the line (hence no ATCS) it should still have PTC.

At the rate they're going, NS will be filing for chapter 13 protection from costs incurred from derailments, paying for clean ups, insurance claims, environmental damage, etc. I know derailments are going to happen, it's the laws of physics. But it's like a weekly occurrence with NS .. and I'm not talking just a couple cars on the ground, they're major derailments. Thankfully no one was seriously injured. I hope to see some coverage of the clean up. Thanks for sharing this, Landon.

This is what happens when they have all the tracks tore up and they can't run trains around the affected area you know if they still have the tracks on the other side of the river take a detour everybody across the tracks and then across the bridge but no they tear all the tracks out because they don't want to maintain them most likely to open no train traffic going through Allentown for about 3 days

How many derailments are there during one year in the US? How many per 1000 miles of train traffic? It looks like a surpricingly high number. Rails bent like worms.... Lots of force there. Okey. Sweden hade a derailment on the northern iron ore line in december 2023, damaging 10 miles of tracks. Freezing temperatures, -40 Celsius, delayed the repair to 65 days. Running trains for a week, they derailed again, not far away..... Before that they have been running trains for years without mishaps.
