Norfolk Southern Corp. issued a statement regarding enactment of a key transportation law that includes an extension of the Positive Train Control (PTC) deadline to Dec. 31, 2018.

Norfolk Southern said the enactment of the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2015, with its provision for extending the PTC deadline to late 2018, allows them to diligently pursue implementation of PTC on the required rail lines.

Following this step by Congress and the President, Norfolk Southern has rescinded its cessation of service notice for Poisonous-Inhalation-Hazard commodities, and for passenger and commuter trains. Norfolk Southern said the government’s action makes it possible for them to conduct lawful operations beyond the former deadline of Dec. 31, 2015, maintaining full access to the rail network for customers and passengers.
