A method is described for operating a heavy haul rail system 10 to transport bulk commodities. The rail system 5 comprises one or more consists 20 provided with at least one loco Li - L3 and a plurality of wagons 22. A lead loco Li is equipped with an automatic train protection (ATP) system 28 for supervising operation of the consist 20 in response to signals received from a train control 10 system (24) that authorises movement of the consist 20 within the rail system 10. The rail system 10 is equipped with an automatic train operation (ATO) system 12 for generating driving commands capable of driving the consist 20 independent of action of any onboard personnel. The 15 method involves assembling the consist 22 comprising one or more locos Li - L3 and empty wagons 22 in a yard. Train configuration data is uploaded to the ATP system 28 on a lead loco Li. The ATO system 12 utilises train configuration to generate driving commands for the consist 20 20. The ATO system 12 then utilises the driving commands to drive the consist 20.
