The MTA is asking for more time to install potentially life-saving technology to the LIRR.
Sen. Chuck Schumer says the MTA is seeking a two-year extension to install Positive Train Control (PTC).
The technology has the ability to stop an out of control train.
All trains were supposed to have PTC installed by the end of this month.
Schumer is urging the railroad to have it put in place as soon as possible.
