ABSTRACT:
A communications device is provided for controlling operation of an unmanned locomotive over a track layout in a train yard. The locomotive is operable over a plurality of alternative track routes to reach a respective destination from a plurality of possible destinations in said track layout. The track layout includes a plurality of switches configured to alter a route for a locomotive running along the track layout. The communications device may include a first user display for use in commanding a desired destination for the locomotive within the track layout by setting the state of the switches along the route to the destination. The communications device may further include a second user display for use in controlling movement of the locomotive along the track layout.
