An energy-management system of a train performs real-time assessment of operating parameters of the train and characteristics of a route using machine-learning algorithms. A consist management module within the energy-management system evaluates predictions of future performance by the train when different numbers of locomotives within a consist are inactive. Calculating and comparing operating benefits obtained from the predictions with respect to an upcoming distance, the consist management module identifies a number of locomotives to place in an isolation mode to provide efficient operation of the train. The number identified is provided to a driving strategy module for consideration in maneuvering the train over the upcoming distance.
