Chicago's CBS newsradio station WBBM 780 aired a report this morning stating that a GPS train control system is being considered, assuming FTA funding can be secured, for the METRA owned Rock Island.
As we know, there have been two fatal derailment incidents on the RI of late, one during October 2003 and the other last year. It appears that negligence on the part of the Engineer was a factor in both.
