Amtrak Seeks Federal Sign-Off on Another Train-Safety Plan Update

## Summary

Amtrak wants to update its Positive Train Control (PTC) safety plan and system to keep trains running safely and smoothly. This change affects Amtrak’s train operations and needs approval from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). The public can share their thoughts by November 30, 2026, before the updates roll out—no extra costs or delays expected!

## Abstract

This document provides the public with notice that, on October 26, 2026, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) submitted a request for amendment (RFA) to one of its FRA-approved Positive Train Control Safety Plans (PTCSP). As this RFA may involve a request for FRA's approval of proposed material modifications to an FRA-certified positive train control (PTC) system, FRA is publishing this notice and inviting public comment on the railroad's RFA to its PTCSP.
