Leadership Ed Molloy, PMP EXECUTIVE CONSULTANT, DIRECTOR OF RAIL & TRANSIT ENGINEERING LinkedIn Email Ed joined Macro in January 1999, bringing with him considerable operational and systems-level experience in railroad train control, communications, and signaling systems, with emphasis on train control system software development including fault-tolerant implementations. Since joining Macro, Ed has served as project manager for train control system design and implementation projects and is currently Macro’s Project Manager for the Amtrak Northeast Corridor CETC Replacement Project. He is knowledgeable in all aspects of the NEC system including the implementation of the ACSES system and its involvement toward a Positive Train Control (PTC) system. With Amtrak between 1976 and 1997, Ed held a variety of jobs in the signal department including managing the installation of a major interlocking on the Northeast Corridor. When Amtrak installed the first North American passenger railroad central control system in the mid-1980’s, Ed was technical lead on the team responsible for installation, testing, and commissioning of the train and power control centers at 30th Street Station in Philadelphia and South Station in Boston. Ed also managed the Penn Station Central Control (PSCC) project through integration, an assignment requiring a rewrite of the original system’s half-million lines of code.
