Will you accept that as Dispatcher I know what it should be displaying? So that when a crew calls and says they’re looking at a red signal they shouldn’t have, my thoughts are then “what’s going on?” and act accordingly.-- Larry Stonelstone19 at stonejongleux.com> On Mar 30, 2024, at 8:32 AM, NW Mailing List <nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org> wrote:> > Larry,>     All I am saying is that you cannot see what I, the engineer/conductor/brakeman, am seeing. Numerous times I have had to call the dispatcher to let him/her know that I was sitting at a Stop signal. Have them reply that it indicates the route is lined and I in turn reply that the signal is still red out here. At which point they either try to recode the route and it changes the signal or they talk me by the Stop signal.> > Jimmy Lisle> > On 3/29/2024 7:55 PM, NW Mailing List wrote:>> With all due respect as well, you apparently think that by thinking I know what’s displayed, I’m using that to circumvent the rules somehow. It’s not as if as Dispatcher I’m telling a train that they should just carry on based on me telling them what the signal up around the bend is going to be. But generally, I do know what they're seeing and I’m sure many good dispatchers know as well. There’s nothing magic about signals - if you understand the signal logic and you know what the state of the railroad is, then you know what signal will be displayed.>> > ________________________________________> NW-Mailing-List at nwhs.org> To change your subscription go to> http://list.nwhs.org/mailman/options/nw-mailing-list> Browse the NW-Mailing-List archives at> http://list.nwhs.org/pipermail/nw-mailing-list/________________________________________NW-Mailing-List@nwhs.orgTo change your subscription go tohttp://list.nwhs.org/mailman/options/nw-mailing-listBrowse the NW-Mailing-List archives athttp://list.nwhs.org/pipermail/nw-mailing-list/
