Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting operation of a train are disclosed. A method may include: receiving one or more infrared images of a brake line of the train; detecting one or more leaks of the brake line based on the one or more infrared images; and adjusting a brake command based on the detected one or more leaks.

Abstract: A method for controlling a remote controlled locomotive that is part of a train to insure effective braking, the method including calculating an estimated total energy of a train, calculating a threshold representing a predetermined braking capability limit of the locomotive, determining whether the estimated total energy is at least one of approaching and exceeding the threshold, and decreasing a velocity of the train until the threshold is at least one of no longer being approached and is no longer exceeded.

Abstract: A system of identifying rolling stock within a rail yard when additional rolling stock may be present on an adjacent track, the system including identification markers attached on opposite sides of a rolling stock, an identification marker reader located proximate a track upon which the rolling is upon operable to communicate with the markers to gather information from the markers, a processor in communication with the identification marker readers, and an algorithm within the processor for using the information associated with the identification markers to determine a location of the rolling stock.
