A method of monitoring a railroad hump yard, including storing a profile of the hump yard. The commands sent to one or more of the retarding devices and track switches are determined. The telemetry of a car at at least one point after release over the hump is obtained. Finally, the telemetry of the car for the remainder of the path in the hump yard is calculated. The calculated telemetry of the car over the path in the hump yard may be displayed real time or may be stored and subsequently displayed. A remote control locomotive device includes operator input, a display, a data base of at least a track profile and a program to drive the display with the location of the train on the track profile.

L'invention a trait à une méthode de contrôle d'un triage ferroviaire à butte, y compris le stockage d'un profil de la butte. Les comandes envoyées à un ou plusieurs des dispositifs retardateurs et dispositifs d'aiguillage sont déterminées. Les données télémétriques d'au moins une voiture sont recueillies, une fois celle-ci libérée après son passage sur la butte. On calcule finalement la télémétrie de la voiture en question pour le reste de son parcours dans le triage. La télémétrie calculée peut être affichée en temps réel ou stockée et affichée ultérieurement. Un dispositif de télécommande de locomotive comprend l'intrant de conduite, un affichage, une base de données concernant au moins un profil de voie et un programme pilote pour afficher la position du train sur le profil de voie.
