Specifically, this petition is made in connection with the implementation of PATH’s Automatic Train Control (ATC) project and the plan to use unequipped PA–4 cars as maintenance-of-way (MOW) work equipment. PATH is currently in the process of implementing an ATC system using communications-based train control (CBTC) technology throughout the PATH rail network, as described in the Positive Train Control Implementation and Development Plans previously submitted for FRA approval. As part of that program, PATH will be equipping all A-cars (cab control cars) of the new PA–5 fleet with onboard ATC equipment. By December 31, 2015, PATH’s passenger carrying fleet will consist of only multiple-unit train consists made of PA–5 cars, and as such, PATH’s operation will be in compliance with the new PTC rule. An important element of the new ATC system implementation at PATH will be the incorporation of a track-circuitbased Secondary Train Detection System (STDS) incorporating wayside signals and automatic train stops (trip stops).
