FILE -This Sept. 12, 2008 file photo shows rescue personnel working at the scene of a train crash in Los Angeles. Southern California’s commuter train network has become an early adopter of crash-avoidance technology that its own horrific accident helped make mandatory. Metrolink quietly rolled out a train Monday, Feb. 17, 2014, equipped with “positive train control,” a system that lets dispatchers halt engines remotely if they speed or blow through stop signals. Congress mandated the technology after a Metrolink engineer ran a red light while he was texting and crashed head-on with a freight train in 2008. (AP Photo/Hector Mata, File)
