An approach to remotely shutting down and stopping a train consist would allow for increased safety and security of locomotives. A locomotive Security Module (LSM), a Security Control Device (SCD), a transceiver, an engine control system, and a brake control system would be mounted directly to each locomotive. Associated remotely with these devices would be a transceiver, a control computer, and a locomotive interface unit (LIU). The LSM is connected to the locomotive's engine control system, and the SCD is interconnected with the locomotive's braking system in a manner that when remotely triggered either an emergency braking application or an emergency engine shutdown will occur. Wherein enhancing the overall safety and security of a train consist is achieved.
