Zusammenfassung:	Abstract Systems and methods for sensing a train position of a train with no internal drive operating in an automated train system are provided. According to one embodiment, a 5 train system comprises a track extending in a travel direction, a plurality of cars riding on the track and connected to form a train, a position sensing unit, and a programmable logic controller (PLC) in signal communication with the position sensing unit and configured to determine a train position based on inputs therefrom. 0 cm0 cvn cvu.
