PTC Test Bed Siding Signal Upgrade at the Transportation Technology Center

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) contracted Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (TTCI) to continue work performed from February 2013 through December 2014 to upgrade the infrastructure and testing capabilities of the Positive Train Control (PTC) Test Bed by converting the existing siding on the Railroad Test Track (RTT) to a signaled siding. The PTC Test Bed was developed at the Transportation Technology Center (TTC) in Pueblo, CO, where a facility for developing and testing PTC-related technologies and systems is provided for the rail industry. As part of this project, all the required system checks were performed, as well as structures and equipment being procured and installed.
