Is what is not shown in this article is the percentage of service operated by MetroLink and Amtrak that is NOW operated with Automatic Train Control or PTS. Many of the MetroLink and Amtrak locomotives and cab cars and lines are NOW equipped with a system that will put a train into emergency stop if the train passes a red light.

Unfortunately the “Cost Line” to Ventura and north was not equipped with this ATC, PTS.

Equipping the remaining MetroLink and Amtrak lines line in Southern California with the currently used system can and should be done within a reasonable time, but why is this overlooked in most news reports of the future safety of our rail lines.
