Yeah, PTC opens up for steam on the mainline again. So?
Just wait until they're running an excursion, the system fails, the excursion is delayed, tying up railroad traffic, and the railroad doesn't care to host steam excursions anymore because they're "operational distractions."
@disturbingmario NS, CN, and CP killed steam for being "operational distractions" loooong before PTC was even thought of so adding just another problem makes no sense to me.
I could care less about foamers.
It cripples the functionality and versatility of the railroads and essentially wages a war against smart and skilled people who can think outside the box doing their job.
