Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A locomotive ( 10 ) is operable in two or more distinct configurations, with the change in configuration being response to a configuration input signal ( 35 ). A locomotive configuration is represented by the set of end use device control signals ( 13 ) that are generated by the locomotive control systems ( 22 ) in response to the respective set of operational input values ( 27 ). For a given set of operational input values, a first set of end use device control signals is generated when a configuration input has a first value, and a second set of end use device control signals is generated when a configuration input has a second value. The configuration input variable is responsive to an emission profile associated with the locomotive location. A value of a locomotive emission parameter corresponding to the emission profile is monitored and saved in a storage device (e.g., 104 ).
