    摘要: An intelligent locomotive brake control system which selects and optimizes use of dynamic, independent, and automatic brakes on the locomotive to assure intended brake power, to minimize in-train forces, minimize brake component wear, and to automate standard train brake protocol. The system may be programmed to alter an automatic brake application commanded by a train driver to omit or reduce the amount of the automatic brake application in favor of a dynamic brake application, and independent brake application, or combination thereof.

    摘要: A reverser handle comprising a key component integrally associated with a light component. In an exemplary embodiment, the light component comprises a cap which houses a light source, such as, e.g., a plurality of light emitting diodes, a light bulb, or a photoluminescent material which allows the cap to glow in the dark. The key component comprises a body having extending therefrom a flange which is configured to actuate a control stand. The light component preferably comprises a blue light emitting light source to comply with a blue flag safety procedure.

    摘要: A system to arm one device with another device on a freight train having a locomotive and a last car is provided. The system comprises an end of train (EOT) device disposed in the last car of the freight train and a head of train (HOT) device disposed in the locomotive of the freight train. The EOT device includes a soft button which is configured to be virtually pressed in response to an electronic command. The HOT device includes a button which is configured to be pressed by a user. A web-based service at a central server is configured to receive an initiate arming sequence command from a wireless communication device of the user and issue the electronic command to the EOT device to virtually press the soft button via a web user interface. The first radio is configured to transmit an arming request message to the HOT device for displaying on the display of the HOT device. The user is prompted to press the button of the HOT device to cause the HOT device to proceed with an arming process with the EOT device.
