NYSW Railway taps Collins’ ARINC RailwayNetSM for PTC
Written by Kyra Senese, Managing Editor
The New York, Susquehannah and Western (NYSW) Railway has chosen Rockwell Collins’ ARINC Railway NetSM service to implement positive train control (PTC).
ARINC RailwayNet is a hosted network, messaging and application platform for use by freight and passenger railroads.
The platform facilitates a common communication infrastructure in order to enable PTC solutions to monitor train movements and address rail safety issues, including train-to-train collisions and incursions into work zones.
“Rockwell Collins’ service allows for interoperability between the short line and commuter rails with the Class I railroads to deliver PTC safety benefits with reduced operational deployment risks for smaller lines,” said Kenneth Schreder, vice president, Surface Transportation and Critical Infrastructure Systems for Rockwell Collins. “Through RailwayNet, Rockwell Collins is helping NYSW meet the PTC mandate efficiently, cost effectively and securely.”
NYSW operates more than 500 miles of track in New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
