Dispatchers train sheets were used for time keeping and trackage records and
only recorded the total cars or in freight loads empties and tons
Mileage was charged by the ton mile for trackage right and detour moves
Other then the engine consists there are no numbers or names kept
See my article "OS Creston" in BB 22 Repo of train sheet in article. At least
one other is in society hands and another in the works

Hi Bob,
I have not heard anyone mention dispatchers sheets. I thought each
dispatcher sheet had a section for noting the entire passenger train
consist for each train running that day. The writing can sometimes
be hard to read, but can be a wealth of information.
