To meet demand for longer, heavier trains—and provide efficient train handling—rail companies are choosing advanced distributed power systems that enable remote control of locomotives in separate consists from the lead locomotive.
LOCOTROL® Distributed Power (DP) System is a proven control and communication system enabling coordinated braking and traction power distribution between lead and remote locomotives for faster stopping times and shorter stopping distances. The result? Increased hauling capacity, throughput and capacity. Better rail adhesion. Improved fuel efficiency. Increased system throughput. Lowered brake-pipe charging time. And reduced operating costs.
