ABSTRACT:
A remote locomotive control system includes a slave controller configured to receive data strings from remote transmitters. The slave controller is responsive to an acquire signal received from one of the remote transmitters for configuring the slave controller to control one or more control functions of the locomotive as a function of one or more data strings received exclusively from the one remote transmitter. However, the slave controller is configured so that any remote transmitter can control safety functions of the locomotive via the slave controller.
