Claim 3:
4. A train control system comprising:
train control modules on board trains, wherein a train control module controls the operation of associated train, including the operation of the train on at least one of a track section that is subject to temporary speed restrictions and a track section wherein a work zone is established, wherein the on-board train control modules generate messages that include data related to the operation of the associated train,
a cloud computing facility that includes computing resources that virtualize train control functions required for train operation on at least one of a track section that is subject to temporary speed restrictions and a track section where a work zone is established, wherein the computing resources generate messages needed for the implementation of at least one of temporary speed restrictions and work zones, and
a communication link that provides two-way communications between the cloud computing facility and the on-board train control modules, wherein the messages generated by the on-board train control modules and the messages generated by the computer resources are transmitted via the communication link.
