MrsCP's company was selling PTC solutions at least 8 years ago. She flew around the world meeting with rail companies, but not much in the US. Congress passed the requirement in 2008, IIRC. Sounds similar to the case of US car companies complaining that fuel economy standards were impossible to meet, fighting them in Congress, while Japanese companies just went ahead and met them.

Just curious - what's to "like" about a train crash post?
