FIRE (Functionality Integrated Railroad Electronics) is the most advanced system designed for locomotive management. It improves safety, enhances crew operations and improves the engineer's management of locomotive performance.
The FIRE electronics add one electronic screen for
access to various engine control functions and for
various additional displays, such as speedometer.
Analog gauges remain for the airbrakes since the units
do not have electronic air.
