Pete One problem with trying to explain something of that nature is the language you use. Working as a dispatcher at Cicero we had Aurora Men, Snuffy's and Woodcutters. When we got moved to Galesburg there was even a Beardstown Div. Dictionary(a file copy perserved). After the move to Ft. Worth we were in the IDC(I Don't Care???) where every line of the former CB&Q was under the same roof. The company built a concrete bunker inside of a Dun colored warehouse. Then the company built the NOC(Nest of Confusion!??) and brought all the BN Dispatchers to Ft. Worth. This did not work with the ATSF coming on board and they split off desks to other locations. Then we got a lot of Dispatchers who were jumping ship from other roads. Some from Amtrak came in from the Philly office and along with it the language from Philly. Now we did not have track 1, 2(Middle) and 3 on the East End but the "High Side" "Middle" and the "Low Side". I will keep my freedom, my guns, and my religion, you can keep the "change". __._,_.___
