Zusammenfassung:A remote control system and method for the remote control operation of a locomotive in the performance of a car-kicking sequence comprising a control unit, a remote control unit and a processor in communication with the locomotive onboard operating system. An operator interface of the operator control unit includes an input mechanism for inputting a command associated with at least one predetermined car-kicking sequence. The operator control unit generates a signal to the onboard operator's system indicative of the instruction to perform the car-kicking sequence. The processor is able to access a set of stored instructions for performing the car-kicking sequence.
