The NF desk would be abolished with the following changes:
-NG desk would control their current desk (Buffalo Terminal, Belt, Niagara, Lockport subs and Somerset RR), and the Rochester sub from WAS CP-429 to EAS CP-382 would be added to their desk
-ND desk would control from WAS CP-263 to the EAS CP-382, along with the West Shore sub and Charlotte runner.

How many years was it the Buffalo division, Mohawk-Hudson division and St. Lawrence division? I have NYC era timetables laid out that way.Well yes things did run well, but for most of those years the operator at "GS" controlled the track in the middle cp278-cp296 and handled trains

What radio is hooked to it, I have no idea. Maybe it's simply to provide better coverage for the dispatchers through there? Is it a valley or surrounded by tall hills that might obstruct the signal?
I believe those antennas are all PTC related. They don't look like the radio base antennas at Batavia, Wende, etc. and they're unfortunately not ATCS antennas so I'd go with PTC. If anyone can clarify what they are that'd be great
