With newer systems, the remotes can be controlled independently from the head end. Newer models of locomotives like the SD70ACe/M-2, and the EVO's, have computer screens in front of the engineer (usually 2, but sometimes only 1). One of these screens is used to control the power/braking of the remote units.

Thanks for the reply...are the remote units controlled by a cable link from the head end or do they use UHF/C band telemetry?
