A control apparatus has input devices, actuators and a single chip microcomputer and is applied to control air conditioning units carried in a cab-over wagon or a one-box car. The thermal loads of the compartment sections to be air conditioned are determined by the microcomputer on the basis of informations from the input devices and calculations in accordance with the control programs written in the microcomputer. The thermal loads of the compartment sections and the desired temperatures thereof are considered in the microcomputer, which outputs various command signals into the actuators so as to actuate front and rear air conditioning units to maintain the compartment sections to be air conditioned at the desired temperatures.
