Western Railroad Discussion > UP SBA sub fans--view dipatchers gone wild in the makin

Just turned my scanner on this am in Paso Robles...
3 SB UP frts in the last 2 hrs,.

As of 10am, 1 in SLO, 1 in Santa Margarita, 1 behind him.

Santa Margarita train may be oil cans as it had 170 axles
(39 cars + power), and was asking for pushers to be sent
back north to attach to head end. No mention of "oil cans"
on the air, though.


All 3 will need to meet 799 northbound, and 14 which will be late
due to late arrival of 11 yesterday.
Expect Guadalupe switcher to have a light day, so he'll probably
be in the hole at Calendar or Guadalupe.

Any news or photos from the SBA sub today would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Beth

Sounds just like another "typical day" when I was dispatching SLO to Dayton Ave LA in the early 90's.

And CTC was only out to Gemco...

The stories I could tell. And will, eventually.
