ABSTRACT:
A system and method for indicating the speed of a locomotive during low speed continuous loading and or unloading of bulk materials such as coal. The system utilizes treadle switches which are equally spaced along a track, the treadle switches generating positional information which is transmitted to a receiver in the locomotive thereby enabling a very accurate indication of the speed of the vehicle to be displayed to the driver.
