It isn't often that we think of new technology and railroads. But Buckingham Branch Railroad is one of the first short line railroads in America to install the newest signal technology, using bright LED signals, and with the ability to use something called PTC - Positive Train Control. PTC is something that railroads are working with now...the ability of a rail traffic control center to "stop" a train, essentially to prevent collisions. With BB hosting Amtrak three days a week on our line, from Orange, VA to Clifton Forge, VA, this is essential technology for us.
