Zusammenfassung:Abstract AUTOMATIC TRAIN OPERATION TENDER UNIT An automatic train operation system (60) is presented for use with a train (30) to automatically operate the train. The automatic train operation system is housed on a tender car (50) and connected to a second rail vehicle (55). The automatic train operation system is connected to the second rail vehicle through end connections (150, 250). Additionally, the automatic train operation system communicates with the second rail vehicle through the end connections. The end connections are operable to transmit an operation signal (145) between the automatic train operation system and the second rail vehicle. The second rail vehicle completes the operation signal base on an executable command (148) contained within the operation signal and sent from the automatic train operation system.
