Railroads have large investments in capital items such as track, trains, and terminals. Optimizing the use of their resources has the potential of enormous payback. Precision Train Control™ (PTC) is an effort to optimize the flow of trains on the line of road in order to increase the return on capital. This paper describes a study whose purpose was to quantify the performance improvements that could be anticipated with PTC. A large-scale simulation involving approximately 1000 miles of track
