Abstract
In this chapter it will be shown that when the mechanical energy model is used to formulate the train control problem on level track in an appropriate function space, an optimal strategy does indeed exist. Furthermore, the existence of an optimal strategy will be established using a more general cost functional than that used in the original model.
