As the Dec. 31, 2015, deadline for full Positive Train Control (PTC) implementation grows closer, railroads are focusing on making an efficient, effective switch to the new technology — and controlling the costs of doing so. In the short-line and regional railroad communities challenges remain, to be sure, but a number of strategies are emerging that ensure small railroads meet the PTC mandate's project deadlines and price tag.
