While he catches his breath, let me point out that nobody has suggested that ABS “grants or modifies authority.” Let me also point out that, after previously saying ABS has virtually no impact on capacity, he now is willing to say it does increase capacity “if it enables higher train speeds.” That was precisely my point from the get-go. I’m not nit-picking him. I just want to clear up any confusion you all may have had about my earlier posts.
