Amendment to Order of Particular Applicability Requiring ACSES Between New Haven, Connecticut and Boston, Massachusetts--Extension of Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA) Temporary Operating Protocols.
Summary
FRA amends its 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). The only amendment to this document is the second extension of a previously granted exception that allows MBTA to follow temporary operating protocols whenever it cannot dispatch a train equipped with ACSES. This exception now runs until April 5, 2002.
