MTA Metro-North Railroad tomorrow will begin installing positive train control (PTC) equipment on the New Canaan Branch.Crews will install a radio case, antenna and ancillary pieces for the wayside data radio.To accommodate the work, Metro-North will run substitute buses between the New Canaan and Stamford stations in Connecticut from Aug. 10-12. Regular train service will resume Aug. 13, Metro-North officials said in a press release.Earlier this year, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) urged Metro-North to speed up its PTC implementation after a Federal Railroad Administration letter cast doubt on the railroad's ability to meet the Dec. 31 deadline to install the technology.
