Sorry to say I never got off the Chicago Div. in the years I worked as a Train Dispatcher so I do not know how that area was worked.

Steve,

Here was the line up:

Trains expected between North River and Brookfield between 620 am and 1201 pm June 22 1967
No 55 Eng 9977 left Macon 603 am
No 7 Eng 9942A Extra 9942A West
Left Ely 557 am
Leave Lakenan 620 am
Local Extra 940 West Leave Callao 630 am
No 71 Eng 115 Leave North River 625 am
Pass Card 655 am
Pass Macon 730 am
No 61 Extra 924 West Leave North River 730 am
Pass Card 755am
Pass Macon 825 am
LW 68 Extra 957 East left Lakenan 620 am
No 30 Extra 9923B East Leave Brookfield 700am
Pass Macon 745 am
Pass Card 815 am
LC 70 Extra 167C East leave Brookfield 745 am
Pass Macon 830 am
Pass Card 910 am

My question would be why would the dispatcher list No 7, No 61, LW 68, No 30 and LC 70 from North River to Brookfield with Extra assignments when these trains did not normally run over this part of the railroad? Only No 55, No 71 and Local Extra were regular trains on the North River to Brookfield section. Would not the Extra designations mean that orders are already out for those trains? It would seem to be a lot of work and effort for nothing if they were only planned trains. Your dispatcher insight in this would be appreciated.

Lineups were more like a funny paper.  A lot of fluff and not much substance.  Quite often Lincoln and or Northtown would not give adequate figures as to what they would run so the Dispatcher had to just guess and add extras to cover just in case to cover the holes in the figures from the yards.
Lineups were used by track and signal people to give them some idea of what was coming and would have to clear the times of the trains on the lineup.  If the yards would run a train off the lineup figure it was the dispatchers job to give out orders to keep the train within the bounds of the lineup or resort to a "Rabbit-Hunting Order"
Retired Dispatcher and loving it
