This app lets you use a browser (generally recommended on a phone or iPad) to simulate numerous railroad functions that can be performed while running trains.
Current functionality includes
- Handbrakes: Set and release.
- Airbrakes: Perform initial, intermediate and continuity tests.
- Switching: Couple, uncouple, and operate handbrakes.
The "app" is all written in plain HTML (using Bootstrap) and Javascript (using lots of Jquery), so running it and extending it should be relatively easy.
A live version can be found at http://traincrew.conrail1285.com, but you can easily set it up on your own web hosting.
This app was based on ideas from How To Operate a Modern Switching Layout book and the PDC BNML Conductors App.
