Caltrain says passengers shouldnt worry about their safety because of these delays, but caltrain has filed a lawsuit. Now, the hope is this system will help prevent catastrophic crashes like the one in Southern California back in 2008 and the one in new jersey this past september where people were hurt and killed. Now, the idea is those could have been potentially been stopped if there was a positive train control system installed. According to courthouse news service, this lawsuit is about that system. Caltrain had a deal with the illinoisbased rail contractor parsons so install it on the bay area railway network. Now basically is system is designed to overcome human error bi like conductors being dissubtracted or asleep. Course news service says parsons missed the deadline so they terminated the contract last month and sued the company. Parsons says caltrain is partially responsible for the delays and has turned around and sued caltrain. Caltrain is looking for another company to help finish this project. What a legal mess.
