4 What PTC Does Interlocking Typical Block Maximum Authorized Speed Maximum Authorized Speed Enforce 45 mph Enforce 30 mph Enforce 30 to 15 mph Protection Against Passing a Stop PTC Protects against passing a stop signal Stop Cab Protects movement of train through an improperly aligned switch Interlocking Typical Block Maximum Authorized Speed Enforce 45 mph Enforce 30 mph Enforce 30 to 15 mph Enforce 15 mph Protection Against -to- Collision Stop Maximum Authorized Speed Enforces 15 mph to STOP Roadway Worker PTC Protects against Overspeed on curves and other civil restrictions. Protection Against Over-Speed Derailments Roadway Protection PTC Protects against unauthorized incursions by a train into a work zone 3

5 What ing Systems Do LIRR/MNR Have Today? Railroads primarily rely on Automatic Speed Control (ASC) with CAB signaling Monitors train speed Maintains safe braking distance Maintains train separation Exceptions: MNR Waterbury Branch LIRR segments Railroads ASC Improvements Civil Speed Enforcement 4
