Only the ones equipped with ATS, which in GE parlance means Attempting To S
tart. #4's problem yesterday had to do with BNsf's poorly maintained ACS
system screwing-up the cut-in ATS system that is required for operation of
trains #3 & #4 over the former Santa Flush lines. A day doesn't go by, where
I don't hear some dinky reporting that his cab signals "dropped" somewhere
between Union Ave. and West Eola. It's time to discontinue their antiquated
cab signal system, as they are absolutely worthless and save the patrons of
Metra the expense of maintaining this useless system.
