The system also includes a transmitter () for transmitting the locomotive information from the locomotive to an operator control unit (OCU) () off-board the locomotive. A graphical display () is associated with the OCU for displaying the locomotive information in a graphical format to an operator of the OCU. A locomotive control unit (LCU) () in communication with the OCU is operable to control the locomotive in response to a manipulation of the OCU by the operator.
