If a consist is going at a rather high rate of speed and after a locomotive has passed a control augment something changes to where the consist has to stop (or if the stopping distance was more than expected and the locomotive overshot) it would be handy if we could controll the consist with the augment from any piece of rolling stock so you don't end up having to manualy move the consist back into position so your system can take over again.

This is especialy a life saver as there is a max number of components any one computer can handle. unless you go into creative computers (they just have a much much higher limit) but for survival you are out of luck.
