Mookie- <br /> <br />I think you are confusing two different things. A remote is just that, a remote control device. Someone still has to be in control of what ever is being controlled. In this case a locomotive is being controlled from somewhere other than the cab. At best, a train can be controlled from a remote location. Perhaps some day control could be handled in certain limited circumstances from a central location. One example might be a hump engine controlled from the yard tower. I doubt this would happen on road jobs absent a completely fenced and grade separated right of way. There is simply too much grade crossing and trespasser liability out there for me to see a remote controlled road train or any sort of "robot" train controlling itself without a human crew member. <br /> <br />LC <br />
