I suspect there would be a market for a Legacy to LionChief "bridge" device.
You Think! What a novel idea?
Good grief. All this news about remarkable advances in control systems, and some want more! 
There are plenty of options now.
Upward compatibility with a Cab 2 Legacy system is a bit of a silly idea, really. Obviously, LionChief engines are less expensive products, with fewer electronics and functions. They're clearly not designed or intended to be run with a $350 control system. Besides, add all those additional electronics, and you'll end up paying $500 for a LionChief engine! You've gained nothing. Just go buy a Legacy engine.
So here. Just skip a step, and ask for mind-controlled trains.
Using Human Brain Waves to Get Things Done
It may soon be possible for anyone, everyone, to control technologies using a wearable mind control device based on EEG or electroencephalogram technology. When neurons in the brain interact via chemical reactions, measurable currents called brain waves are created. The four main types of brainwave patterns are delta, theta, alpha, and beta, and these can be detected and interpreted and signals sent wirelessly to devices to control them.
