摘要

An operator control unit (OCU) ( 12 ) for a locomotive remote control system ( 10 ) for displaying information to an operator of the OCU for use in controlling operation of a locomotive ( 16 ) from a location off-board of the locomotive. The OCU includes a receiver (e.g., 22 ) receiving data indicative of a fault condition of a locomotive and a processor ( 24 ) processing the data to generate locomotive operational recommendation information responsive to the fault condition of locomotive. The OCU also includes an operator display ( 20 ) on the OCU showing information indicative of the locomotive operational recommendation information to allow an OCU operator to respond to the fault condition.
