Track Warrant Question
Author: Railyard

I've been listening to the LIRC on the scanner the past couple of days, which has caused me to have a question on track warrants.

At the end of the track warrant, there are three letter-number combinations. I've always assumed that they pertained to the train, but for the past two days, all of the track warrants that I have heard have the same combination. The combination is:

A-7, B-0, Y-10

What do these three values mean?

I've googled it and can't find a thing about it.

Thanks!
Brian

The three letters repeated at the end of a track warrant are the dispatcher's initials who is giving out the track warrant. This is an important part of the track warrant....initials of the issuing dispatcher.

Actually, these letter-number combinations were not the dispatcher initials. LIRC actually id's the dispatcher on the track warrants using last name, not initials.
The letter-number combinations are something different. BTW, today's track warrants have changed to A-7,B-0,Y-11
