CGTC v. Norfolk Southern was a court case over the head-on collision of CGTC locomotive #5608 and an NS locomotive due to a PTC failure on the Norfolk Southern locomotive. CGTC would end up attempting to sue the Norfolk Southern Corporation as a result of this, and after approximately 204 days, the court would rule that the Norfolk Southern Corporation was liable for the incident, and that they would be required to replace the unsalvageable locomotive with an equal or greater quality locomotive.
