MP Dispatcher's Report; KC Feb 29, 1984
Author: mamfahr

Hello all,

Here's another MP report, this one after the MP-UP-WP merger when DRGW was running east of Pueblo.

The report has a total of 4 pages.



Take care,

Mark

Hello all,

One thing that stands out on this report vs. the first (10 years prior) is the number of coal trains that show up on the '80s report. 

I'll post one other report to close this out.

Take care,

Mark

Thank you!  I sure wish I had saved copies of the ones I had when I worked at North Little Rock for the MoPac.  I do have one here someplace and when I come across it I will scan and post it here.  These are a great look back at past operations.  MoPac was big into on-line block swaps.

Interesting to see the CDL coal train (West Labadie, MO) at the bottom of the report is routed DRGW-Denver-UP-KCITY-MP.  Wonder why not DRGW-Pueblo-MOP??

Very interesting paperwork Mark.  I do remember at the Salina depot and yard office during this time frame there were autos from many foreign counties parked there---crews from the Hoisington, Council Grove, and Osawatomie area.
