Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a locomotive controller including an input device, a display and a processor for driving the display and receiving inputs from the input device. Software in the processor determines and drives the display to show a location of a train on a track and indicia of the location on the track of stopping distances for one of an emergency brake application, a full service brake application and at least one controlled stop brake application. Creep control is also provided.

A locomotive controller comprising:
- an input device, a display and a processor for driving the display and receiving inputs from the input device;
- and
- software in the processor for determining and driving the display to show a location of a train on a track and indicia of the location on the track of stopping distances for one of an emergency brake application, a full service brake application and at least one controlled stop brake application.
A locomotive controller comprising:
- an input device, an output, a display and a processor for receiving inputs from the input device, driving the display and providing outputs on the output;
- and
- software in the processor for providing at the output braking and traction signals to achieve a creep speed signal selected by a creep input from the input device.
