Who knows what Amtrack has installed better than the President of Amtrack? And he said PTC had been installed.

>> I'm saying he was wrong. It was caused by FCC which sat on its ass. As you would expect from government bureaucrat. "According to a top congressional aide, Amtrak told the House Appropriations Committee on Thursday that the PTC system was installed along the section of track outside Philadelphia's 30th Street Station, where the crash occurred, but it was not operating. The aide said Amtrak informed the committee it has encountered delays turning the PTC on throughout its system because of the need to get the bandwidths required to upgrade the radios to a higher MHz, which improves reliability. Amtrak has worked out a deal with the Federal Communication Commission to get the broader bandwidth either late last year or early this year, an aide said."
