Abstract: A system for remote control of locomotives over a single time division multiple access network is provided. The system includes a locomotive control unit configured to operatively control a locomotive. The locomotive control unit is suitable for transmitting and receiving information via the network. The system also includes at least two operator control units suitable for transmitting and receiving information via the network and a hump control unit suitable for transmitting and receiving information via the network. The network employs both spatial and frequency diversity for remote control. The locomotive control unit, the at least two operator control units, and the hump control unit will only transmit in a respective defined period of time.
