{wiki=Locotrol}
Locotrol is a brand name for a wireless control system used in railway operations. It enables locomotive engineers to remotely control a locomotive from a safe distance, often allowing them to operate trains in situations where they might not be able to access the locomotive directly, such as during switching operations in rail yards or on maintenance tasks. The Locotrol system typically involves the use of a portable controller that communicates with the locomotive, allowing for control of various functions such as throttle, brakes, and horn.
