  • Publication number: 20230202543
    Abstract: A rail yard train-switching system includes train-moving machines and a control device. The train-moving machines each draw one of railroad trains in a rail yard. The control device transmits a traction command to the train-moving machines based on an operation schedule. The train-moving machines each move, based on the traction command transmitted from the control device, to a first location specified by the traction command to couple with an appropriate one of the railroad trains, and draw the one of the railroad trains from the first location to a second location specified by the traction command.
