Abstract LOCOMOTIVE RIDE-THROUGH CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD A ride-through control system (100) for operating locomotives (108, 208) in a train (102) includes a geographic position sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a geographic position of a locomotive of a train, and a controller (200) configured to receive the signal indicative of the geographic position of a locomotive and compare the geographic position of the locomotive with one or more pre-determined geographical locations or regions previously identified as geo-fences (396). The controller (200) may also be configured to receive one or more locomotive operational signals indicative of at least one of an operational parameter, a fault, and a maintenance request associated with the locomotive, determine whether the geographic position of the locomotive (208) coincides with a geo-fence (396) characterized by conditions that may affect the ability of the locomotive to meet a trip objective if the locomotive were to slow below a threshold speed within the geo-fence, and generate a ride-through control command signal (498) to prevent the locomotive from slowing below the threshold speed within the geo-fence based on at least one of the one or more locomotive operational signals and a user permission level. 1/4 15-1096 C:)) co' r co C-4 00 C-0 C4 C C:)) w_ LI uC 0uO LL cc'a F-n U 0o 0 O <- : : i 2: £fle
