Feds join investigation into Green Line crash

By adamg on Sat, 07/31/2021 - 12:16pm

The National Transportation Safety Board announced this morning it "is investigating the July 30, 2021, collision of two Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) light rail trains on MBTA's Green Line near Boston, Massachusetts."

Prediction: The NTSB will issue a report that concludes the MBTA needs to equip the Green Line with a "positive train control system," just like it does after every Green Line collision.

But given the advances in self driving car technology, one wonders if there is a cheaper, better method for alerting trolly conductors that something is ahead.

Were years referenced in Adam's article. It is difficult to believe that this was such a low priority given the potential risks.

This is the management team that people advocate giving more money.
