Abstract :
FOR MANY YEARS men have dreamed of running a railroad locomotive by remote control. This was accomplished recently on the New Haven Railroad in the New Rochelle–Rye, N. Y., territory. The train was one of the New Haven Railroad´s new multiple-unit cars. It could have been a diesel or electric locomotive with a full complement of cars. The control, safety, and communication equipment was provided by Union Switch and Signal—Division of Westinghouse Air Brake Company.
