Turns out that in 1998, SFMTA had the latest cutting edge technology when they installed their automatic train control system.

"We were the first agency in the U.S. to adopt this particular technology but it was from an era that computers didn't have a hard drive

Aaaand that's when I stopped reading. Please, we had hard-drives in average office systems for more than a decade at that point.

Haha, that was literally the exact same point I stopped reading. I have emails older than this system and they weren't stored on floppys 😂
