Thank you Pete as you have answered a long standing question of mine. How
were cars traced before computers,AEI,tags,spins,compass and any type of
computerization !
In 1979/80 when I worked at 547 W Jackson as staff assistant to Regional
Mgr Trains and Terminals(Joe Arrington at the time) one of my duties was to
supervise the car tracing bureau. There were 5 or 6 clerks sitting at CRTs. The
phone would ring with a query on car(s) location(s) and they would punch in the
car # and respond with the info to the caller.
Today I can sit at my lap top or iphone and use one of several RR web sites
or AAR sites to trace a car anywhere myself in seconds.
