In an embodiment, a method (and system) includes dispatching and routing, by a dispatch and routing controller, and responsive to a received user request, a highly-automated trainset. The highly-automated trainset has one or more cars attached to a highly-automated locomotive. The method (and system) dispatches the highly-automated locomotive from a first location to a second location over a train track. The method (and system) provides, at the second location, a notification indicating readiness for loading of cargo onto the one or more cars. The method (and system) loads at least one of the one or more cars with the cargo at the second location. Further responsive to the received user request, the method (and system) dispatches and routes, by the dispatch and routing controller, the highly-automated trainset from the second location to a third location over the train track.
