If you are referencing PTC enforcement of restrictions of a single MU or lite engine, then it is no different than any other move that receives signals from wayside transponders. Equipment braking curves under ACSES are one-size-fits-all and don't change per consist. If if is about protecting the eq...

If there was talks of upgrading the Signal system on the DB and the SB, then we would be having a progressive talk about potential electrification. As of now, neither territory can use their museum relics of a signal system and support electrification.
