For me this raises some additional questions: how long did the operator at Ashland exist and how was the dispatching method divided from Lincoln to Plattsmouth and around the Omaha Line? Seems that i

July 13, 2018 Pete - Perhaps, you and your Omaha friends from the Q era could contribute something on this subject. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I don't recall any focused articles on Omah

July 13, 2018 Pete - Thanks. There's so few of us left that genuinely remember the Q, and even fewer who were actually employed by the Q. My dad was a great story teller and had a world of operating

July 13, 2018 Tristan - FASCINATING! Never knew this web site existed. Thanks for sharing along with your two attachments. I think a lot can be deduced from the pictured machines that are dated. Best
I started in the Cicero DS Office the middle of Feb. 1974 and already by that time the BN had single-doubled the Creston Div. from Creston to Red Oak. and CTC had been added. The Op at P Jct still ha

The DS spoke his orders into that phone horn strapped around his neck so he didn't have to hold it. He needed his hands free to write the orders as he dictated them and then to underline each repeat
