UP Northline dispatching question
- Discussion related to commuter rail and rapid transit operations in the Chicago area including the South Shore Line, Metra Rail, and Chicago Transit Authority.
Yes the NE Dispatcher controls north of WK. He also controls the the Northwest line west of Deval too!
Does that include Seeger (the next control point west of Deval)? I always thought the Deval dispatcher (via CY Tower) controlled that...

Yes your correct about Seeger. Its been a couple of years since I have run on that line.
Historically, the Deval operator did have responsibility for Seeger and Norma, back in the days when the tower was still manned.
