A train control system (100) includes independent virtual in-train forces modelling engines (324) onboard each of a plurality of locomotives (208, 248) in a train (102). Each of the plurality of locomotives may also include an analytics engine (318) and a calibration engine (334) configured to assimilate, analyze, and calibrate real time information from other locomotives and from draft gears and couplers interconnecting the locomotives with determinations made by the independent virtual in-train forces modelling engine onboard the respective locomotive, with the plurality of locomotives of the train being configured to operate collectively and coordinate their own acceleration values based on a common goal of minimizing in-train forces without being dependent on a command from a lead locomotive or central command.
