Abstract
A mid of train (MOT) mobile unit for use with a train is provided. The MOT mobile unit comprises a first hose for mounting the MOT mobile unit between first and second railway cars of the train located near a middle of the train and a radio for communications with an end of train (EOT) unit disposed on one end of the train and for communications with a head of train (HOT) unit disposed on other end of the train. With the first radio, the MOT mobile unit provides a repeater device functionality for communicating between the EOT unit and the HOT unit. The MOT mobile unit is configured to receive a power from a brake line of the train that runs a length of the train, wherein the power is derived from a compressed air in the brake line by means of an air-powered generator that recharges a battery.
