I've never heard of such a thing, tbh. Things are bad enough, there is no need to make anything up. ~Fluffy "Never interrupt an enemy in the process of destroying himself."

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77374864 United States 11/21/2019 01:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | CSX and Norfolk Souther at least utilize a Master Control Center that controls ALL trains in their network. Both of those systems also have a Backup Control Center located in an entirely different location in case the Master Control Center goes off line or goes down. IF both of those Centers lose the ability to run the system there are standardized shutdown procedures for all moving stock across the many thousands of miles of their system. I would assume in this day and age ALL of the major train companies are run the same way, a centralized Master Control Center with a Backup Control Center located in an entirely different location. One outside problem that has caused partial shutdowns to occur is if one company's computers stop talking to another company's computers. That could be caused by computer problems or fiber optic line problems. WHEN that happens all trackage where the two systems operate simultaneously for the lines where their trackages cross would most likely be automatically shut down. In my area we have a number of line crosses between the different RR companies and the train crossing points have to be coordinated between the two companies to avoid any problems ... I have personally seen trains held, while running, for up to 12 hours on those lines, with a van bringing out a replacement engine crew because the wait ends up being so long. Recently I did see a major problem with a CSX train and Norfolk Southern train. Some screw up in the computer sytstems allowed both to be on the same track at the same time heading towards each other (multiple major river bridges involved) ... and they ended up stopped on a bridge nose to nose about 20 feet apart!!! I imagine the engineers on both of those locomotives were shitting their pants when they saw another freight train heading straight towards them on the same track!! Of course with both of those trains then stopped, right on a bridge, in a place which was a switching hub with tracks going off in multiple directions on all sides of the multiple bridges, I imangine both systems ended up with track stoppages going up line hundreds of miles in all directions. No damage ... but a nightmare to sort out and get trains running through the system again. |

Only odd thing here was we had a train go south night before last instead of north at that time like usual. If anything, I would think it would be US using trains to....go visit...somebody else?
