It seems that the Melbourne Train Control System is still running on a hardware "emulated" #PDP11 :)
"In this particular train control application it has enabled the life extension of mature train control software, originally designed to run on a now life expired DEC PDP-11 platform to be migrated to a PC based platform. [...] Consequently, the major part of the project was the ‘hardware adaptation’ that was required to integrate the new system into the existing fabric."
