Action
Amendment to Order of Particular Applicability requiring Advanced Civil Speed Enforcement System (ACSES) between New Haven, Connecticut and Boston, Massachusetts--New CSX Transportation (CSXT) temporary operating protocols allowing nighttime operations.
Summary
In 1998, FRA issued an Order of Particular Applicability requiring all trains operating on the Northeast Corridor (NEC) between New Haven, Connecticut and Boston, Massachusetts (NEC--North End) to be equipped to respond to the new Advanced Civil Speed Enforcement System (ACSES). On June 26, 2002, CSXT wrote to request additional relief. After reviewing this request, and discussing it with CSXT personnel, FRA has decided to amend the Order to allow CSXT to run nighttime operations under temporary operating protocols until further notice.
