PTC is a GPS-based system that uses onboard electronics and transmissions from track-side signals and radio towers to automatically apply brakes if speeding trains are in danger of derailing or crashing. There will also be minor adjustments on some other lines, said agency officials. The Northeast Corridor, North Jersey Coast Line, Morris & Essex Lines, Montclair-Boonton, and Main and Bergen County Lines will feel the biggest changes. “We thoughtfully reviewed all trains that are part of this adjustment and found the most reasonable alternatives.” “Our customers will always be our first priority, and their experience must be safe and consistent,” Corbett said in a release. The agency has to cut service so it can finish installing positive train control, a life-saving technology that all railroads in the United States are required to have in place by the end of the year, said NJ Transit executive director Kevin Corbett.
NJ Transit will slash its service for the next three months so that it can finish federally mandated safety work by the end of the year - and it will offer a small discount to riders for the inconvenience, officials announced on Thursday morning.
