Description: On January 23, 1998, FRA joined with the Association of American Railroads (AAR) and the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to begin development of a high-speed PTC project for the St. Louis-Chicago corridor. Industry efforts toward PTC have now been integrated into the North American Joint PTC Program. This project is the venue for the industry's development of standards for PTC interoperability (i.e., the ability of a train to move from one railroad or from one type of train control system onton another at track speed while under continuous supervision of the train control systems).
