Source
A railway train comprising a driving carriage, a driven carriage, an automatic coupling assembly coupling the driving carriage to the driven carriage and a train control system for controlling the operation of the railway train, wherein the train control system includes a coupling remote control adapted to remotely control the locking and unlocking of the automatic coupling assembly and thus the coupling and uncoupling of the driving carriage to the driven carriage, a train end detection device adapted to detect the end of a railway train, and a traction cut-out controlling device (124) adapted to automatically cut-out the traction of the driving carriage upon uncoupling of the driving carriage from the driven carriage by the coupling remote control, and to automatically remove the traction cut-out upon detection, by the train end detection device, of an end of the driving carriage as the end of a new railway train.
