Written by jrood
The San Diego North County Transit District recently awarded a $32 million contract to Herzog Technologies, Inc., to install Positive Train Control on COASTER trains. The NCTD Board of Directors approved the contract at a recent meeting and Herzog received the "notice to proceed" with Phase 1 of PTC system development in August. "We must thank Senator Dianne Feinstein for her instrumental role in helping NCTD secure the necessary funding to install PTC and make our rail system safer," said Chris Orlando, chairman of the NCTD Board of Directors. The NCTD PTC system will fully integrate with other PTC systems that will be installed on adjacent rail lines, such as Metrolink, BNSF, Amtrak and Pacific Sun to ensure smooth interoperability along the coastal rail line.
