Kansas City Southern has installed centralized traffic control on 95 mi of single track over Ouachita mountains where grades are as long as 18 mi and up to 1.8%; purpose of installation was to minimize number of train stops and standing delay time so that trains could keep moving at maximum speeds consistent with grades and tonnage.
