Speed control for curves

Local 60 has been informed that starting last week on the Main line (Patterson) and proceeding for the next nine weeks, (ten locations total) NJT Signal department will be installing codes in the rail for for cab signals. These “codes” will require trains to comply with MAS and will cause cab signals to flip. We have requested from the carrier that the locations and dates be posted in our paperwork and they agreed, so we should see something soon. This has been a recommendation for some time primary from C3RS and was expedited due to the recent event in Philadelphia.
