Abstract: A railroad control system is disclosed for a network of trains. The system may include a centralized control system configured to transmit trip parameters for each train in the network. The system may include an energy manager in communication with the centralized control system and located onboard each train. The energy manager may be configured to determine an energy profile for a consist of the train based on the trip parameters. The system may further include a consist manager located onboard the consist and configured to determine a distribution of the energy profile for each locomotive of the consist. The system may also include one or more locomotive managers, each associated with a locomotive of the consist, and configured to determine a power configuration of the one locomotive based on the distribution of the energy profile and known parameters of the locomotive.
