Nothing is perfect

G'day,
Just found this accident report at the NTSB.

Whizbang PTC (positive train control) obviously don't solve all dramas.
Any system can become a failure, as in this case.
I would imagine that the FRA will now mandate more stringent rules regarding the isolation of a faulty system.
Steve.
