Thanks.

But no one really is willing to say what exactly that "specialized equipment" is. And whether specifying/supplying that was BBD or Grandlinq responsibility.

Thomas Schmidt was on The Mike Farwell Show today and explained what it is. A big part of the equipment is the Communications-Based Train Control equipment for Automatic Train Protection and train-to-wayside communication to communicate with signal houses to provide a more accurate timing for the grade crossing signals as well as communicate vehicle status and high-resolution location data to the Operations Centre, the GPS module for Real-time tracking, and a module for traffic signal preemption and priority.
