The average age of a diesel powered locomotive in Europe is well over 30 years old, but in fact, many are much older. What other major industry, that is vital to the prosperity of a nation, operates equipment this old? It is commonly done in the railway industry. This begs the question: Why?
The fast approaching deadline for PTC implementation has everyone feeling the stress. The looming deadline is December 31, 2018. The sands have slipped through the hourglass and there is no more time to consider possibilities or change the implementation plan, it just has to work. The big question, of course, is how to make it work everywhere, when almost all elements of the entire nationwide system have to be developed practically simultaneously.
