Upgrade of Dispatcher Job
February 21. 2019
Currently
the
Dispatcher
job
on
the
layout
is
not
very
attractive;
it
amount
only
to
being
a
clerk
logging
in
the
location
of
trains
from
OS
reports
from
a
16
phone
system
distributed
around
the
layout.
In
other
words
it
is
in
practice
“one
way,”
with
information
up
to
the
Dispatcher
only
and
no
Dispatcher
orders
(Train
Orders)
down
to
yard
masters
and
conductor/engineers.
This
is
solely
because
a
phone
call
down
to
a
phone
from
DS
never
gets
answered;
we
do
not
have
dedicated
Tower
Operators,
because
there
are
in
practice
few
Train
Orders
necessary—the entire main line is double track.
