BNSF has been working on an Electronic Train Management System (ETMS) for a couple of years now. Last I heard they were still in trials, but the technology looks promising.

BNSF is actually not doing the work. The company I work for is developing these systems for the railroads and the technology is very good. It just isn’t feasible to apply it everywhere it needs to be, yet.
