Abstract
A train-to-train warning system and method for communicating an information notification, may include receiving or sensing, by a head of train computer of a listener train, an information notification originating from an end of train device associated with a first train in a geographic area, identifying the first train based on at least one of the position of the first train or the identifier associated with the first train, determining, one or more events or conditions of the first train in the track network based on the information notification, generating an updated operation of the listener train including one or more actions, the updated operation based on the one or more events or conditions associated with the first train, and controlling a movement of the listener train based on at least one of the one or more actions.
