The system may include an signaling system onboard component (55) configured to receive a signal indicative of a requested time of arrival (RTA) of the train, a locomotive health system (66) configured to output one or more health signals indicative of a health status of each of the plurality of locomotives, and an energy management system (72) in electronic communication with the signaling system onboard component and the locomotive health system. The energy management system may be configured to generate driving command signals based on the RTA and the one or more health signals, generate an RTA confirmation signal based on the one or more health signals, the RTA confirmation signal being indicative of whether the train will achieve the RTA, and communicate the RTA confirmation signal to a train signaling system via the signaling system onboard component.
