Commuter Rail

Commuter and freight railroads have made uneven progress in implementing Positive Train Control (PTC), the Federal Railroad Administration said today.

N.J. Transit this week opened additional tracks at Hoboken Terminal, roughly three weeks after the agency suspended service into the terminal in the wake of a fatal crash.

The N.J. Transit train that crashed into Hoboken Terminal last week accelerated to 21 mph before the crash, the NTSB said.
