A multi-use wayside railway control system for installation and use in operating wayside railway equipment in a railway wayside application selected from among a plurality of differing railway wayside applications in which the control system could be used. The system includes detectors (30) responsive to and generating data indicative of operating conditions of the selected wayside application, with the data being transmitted to a controller (28). The controller receives data from the detectors and is responsive to the data for operating the wayside equipment. A programmed processor (34) is operatively associated with the controller and includes a software program storage device (36) for storing a plurality of separately selectable operating programs (54), each of the operating programs comprising application specific information for a selected wayside application and corresponding configuration of wayside equipment. A control display unit (38) connectible to the program storage device enables selection of one of the stored operating programs compatible with the selectable wayside application and corresponding wayside equipment configuration for use by the controller.
