ABSTRACT:
An EP controller, which is located on the leading locomotive, is connected by a cable to the leading end trainline connector of the lead locomotive. This powers the EP controller and provides communication by the EP controller over the trainline. A second cable connects the EP line of the first car in the train to the trailing end trainline connector of the last locomotive for providing communication between the EP controller and the electro-pneumatic brakes on each car over the trainline and the EP line.
