Abstract
Systems and methods for local wireless network remote control of ancillary railway implements are described herein. In one implementation, a portable computing module uses a wireless module to control an ancillary railway implement. In one implementation, the portable computing module connects through ancillary railway implement to control one or more nodes, where the nodes are additional ancillary railway implements.

A method comprising:
- connecting, using a portable computing module operably coupled to a wireless module, to an ancillary railway implement;
- and
- operating, using the portable computing module, the ancillary railway implement.
A system comprising:
- a portable computing module;
- and
- an ancillary railway implement wirelessly connected to the portable computing module to enable an operator of the portable computing module to control the ancillary railway implement.
A computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:
- connect, using a portable computing module operably coupled to a wireless module, to an ancillary railway implement;
- and
- operate, using the portable computing module, the ancillary railway implement.
