Abstract: A system and method provides for expanded monitoring and control of a railroad wayside interlocking system that monitors a plurality of track side and train systems and controls a plurality of train and track control devices with a primary control panel system communicating with the interlocking system over a first communication interface and with a remote control panel over a second communication interface, receiving interlocking status messages for visually displaying a current status state of the monitored systems, replicating the received interlocking status messages, determining a current status state for the control devices, communicating replicated interlocking status messages or the determined current status state over the second communication interface to one or more remote control panel systems, and receiving requests from the one or more remote control panel systems, which are then transmitted to the wayside interlocking system by the primary control panel system.
