Date: 08/14/18 14:53 Re: AMTK 13 PTC Test Train On NS ALA East End Author: ctillnc 19/20 are fouled by a heavy, bidirectional traffic flow on what's largely a single track railroad between Meridian and Atlanta. You could install the world's most advanced signal system, but without additional second track (or diversion of traffic to other lines) it is what it is.
