The preset disclosure provides a control system for operating one or more locomotives in a train, the control system including a first communication unit located on-board a first locomotive of a first consist in the train; and an off-board remote controller interface located remotely from the train, the off-board remote controller interface being configured to receive or generate a locomotive control command, store the received or generated locomotive control command in a shared ledger, and relay the locomotive control command to the first communication unit. The first communication unit is configured to receive the locomotive control command from the off-board remote controller interface.
Claim CLM-00001. 1. A control system for operating one or more locomotives in a train, the control system comprising:
a first communication unit located on-board a first locomotive of a first consist in the train; an off-board remote controller interface located remotely from the train, the off-board remote controller interface being configured to receive or generate a locomotive control command, store the received or generated locomotive control command in a shared ledger, and relay the locomotive control command to the first communication unit, wherein the first communication unit is configured to receive the locomotive control command from the off-board remote controller interface.
Claim CLM-00011. 11. A train control system, comprising:
a first consist of locomotives, the first consist comprising a first locomotive and one or more first trailing locomotives; a first communication unit located on-board the first locomotive of the first consist; and an off-board remote controller interface located remotely from the train and being configured to: receive or generate a locomotive control command; store the received or generated locomotive control command in a shared ledger; and relay the locomotive control command to the first locomotive of the first consist by transmitting a signal corresponding to the locomotive control command from the off-board remote controller interface to the first lead communication unit.
Claim CLM-00015. 15. A method for controlling a train, the train comprising a first consist of locomotives, and a first communication unit located on-board a first locomotive of the first consist, the method comprising:
receiving or generating a locomotive control command by an off-board remote controller interface; storing, by the off-board remote controller interface, the received or generated locomotive control command in a shared ledger; and relaying the locomotive control command to the first communication unit.
