multiple-unit train control

The Multiple-unit train control was at that time emerging and not yet a reliable working system.

These were the first in the country to have Norwegian-built electrical equipment, and also allowed for multiple-unit train control.

Some being equipped with multiple-unit train control, they could now be used for heavy freight trains.

From 1968, they could also be operated in pairs, using their newly installed multiple-unit train controls.

The U26Cs are capable of multiple-unit train control operation.

The Ge 4/4 s can work double headed in multiple-unit train control operation.

Locomotives utilising multiple-unit train control are not multiple units.

Multiple-unit train control was first used in Electric Multiple Units in the 1890s.

See - Multiple-unit train control.

They were fitted with multiple-unit train control systems, and could thus be joined together into larger sets and operated from a single control station.

Trams built from 1920 could be run in pairs with multiple-unit train control, via a cable with the control current.

In 1934 an experimental six-car train was built using a multiple-unit train control system developed by Metropolitan Vickers.

These provided many of the operational benefits of a multiple unit, although none incorporated any form of electrical/electronic multiple-unit train control.

Electricity quickly became the power supply of choice for subways, abetted by the Sprague's invention of multiple-unit train control in 1897.

The SAAS types where equipped with Multiple-unit train control starting 1963, but none of the others were ever equipped.

The locomotives are equipped for Push-Pull operation (with Driving van trailer for instance) and for multiple unit operation (see Multiple-unit train control.)

The carriages are hauled by N class, A class or P class diesel locomotives, with through cabling providing multiple-unit train control and enabling push pull train operations.

The jumper cables between the locomotive, railroad cars and the cab car or driving van trailer on push-pull trains for multiple-unit train control and the transmission of lower voltage electricity.

General Electric traction equipment was fitted to the trains, of the same type as that in the Swing Door trains and enabling the trains to be operated in mixed sets using multiple-unit train control.

Thanks to multiple-unit train control, each individual railcar can be operated in combination with other members of the class, and also with older ABe 4/4 class railcars, as well as Gem 4/4 class electro-diesel locomotives.

On a single train only the front car had motors; a double train had one motor car at each end, but the power for both cars was routed through the front car, as multiple-unit train control had not yet come into use.

A push-pull train has a locomotive at one end of the train, connected via some form of remote control, such as multiple-unit train control, to a vehicle equipped with a control cab at the other end of the train.

'Multiple-unit train control', sometimes abbreviated to 'multiple-unit' or 'MU', is a method of simultaneously controlling all the traction equipment in a train from a single location, whether it be a number of Self-powered car cars or a set of locomotives.

Sprague used his previously untested system of multiple-unit train control (MU) whereby multiple self-powered cars could be linked together and controlled by a single person, making the South Side Elevated Railroad the first in the world to use MU operation.

They were able to operate together with multiple-unit train control, allowing a single crew to control both as an articulated locomotive with greater tractive effort than the Victorian Railways C class heavy goods locomotive, the most powerful locomotive on the VR at the time.
