The total contract is valued at approximately $122 million, with Bombardier’s share valued at approximately $34 million.

Visitors in Amersfoort, Netherlands are getting the chance to experience first-hand, how the latest rail control and signaling systems work, such as the Interfolo 550 ERTMS regional solution, the latest EBI Switch point machine and EBI Track train detection systems, and Bombardier’s rail control application for stabling yards.

The project is part of a framework agreement signed by the company and Spanish railway infrastructure manager Adif last November to carry out research and development projects at Adif's Railway Technology Center in Málaga.

Installation of DC traction power supply equipment will enable agency operators to maneuver new, low-floor modern streetcars within the state-of-the-art maintenance and storage facility.

At an estimated cost of $67 million, the installation is part of the railroad's ongoing effort to bring its entire infrastructure into a state of good repair.

On successful delivery of the fully working prototype phase, in 2013, focus will move to the national rollout of the system.

According to prosecutors, dummy barcodes were allegedly stashed in one of the MTA worker's lockers to use in order to fabricate inspections instead of being affixed to signal equipment in order to ensure that the work is done.

Tempo, the portfolio of rail signaling solutions, including the European Train Control System and computer-based interlocking system, are designed around a common failsafe, scalable, hardware and software platform, and an integrated suite of engineering tools.

The scope of supply includes the electronic interlockings and outdoor equipment, as well as the trackside components for automatic train control system. Furthermore, 17 trains will be fitted with Siemens onboard units. The first phase will be commissioned in autumn 2013.

Train rammed into back of another locomotive after signaling fault, adding to concerns that the pace of China's rail expansion may undermine safety.
