Good thing this passenger train wasn't carrying nuclear materials as a side load...

What really is the excuse for not implementing the passive system that would probably have prevented this?

The cost involved, actually.

What was initially supposed to be a couple of billion in cost has, after looking at what needs to be done with sensors on the tracks, beside the tracks and the modification of the locomotives, New Jersey alone will cost 6 billion, and when you consider the cost for the system nationwide, there is not a state in the country that could actually afford it.

And since the federal government mandated it (the typical, do this or else) and then barely funded the program, its on the states.

And it is not "driverless" trains, but a system that can override the engineer if it reads the train is travelling too fast. The engineer gets a warning beep, and if he does not act, a computer applies braking.

After installation, the cost of maintaining the system, and the time involved gets problematic as well.

Washington DC has the system on its mass transit train system, and it has failed on a number of occasions with fatal results.

that's an absolute crock, its your "go to" position and the forums are chock full of evidence of it. perhaps the most prominent of which is your lame "jesus you are phoquing stupid" line that you say to people with no provocation other than that they simply hold different views than you.

Not to mention no one had replied to him or mentioned him in this thread before he started his bullshit, unless like someone else pointed out, the OP was his sock. Could be he just forgot to switch accounts.

Perhaps it would help if you got a grown up to help you with the big words.
