Abstract
A remote control system (10) for a locomotive (16) includes a sensor (e.g. 15) on-board the locomotive for providing locomotive information. The system also includes a transmitter (13) for transmitting the locomotive information from the locomotive to an operator control unit (OCU) (12) off-board the locomotive. A graphical display (24) is associated with the OCU for displaying the locomotive information in a graphical format to an operator of the OCU. A locomotive control unit (LCU) (14) in communication with the OCU is operable to control the locomotive in response to a manipulation of the OCU by the operator.
