I believe that "WR" was "Western Region" on the SP, the number was the individual Dispatcher.
I believe that the dispatching jobs started to move to Roseville in the late 1980s, before that each job had a more descriptive name.
The Southern Pacific Historical & Technical Society is an excellent resource.

Thank you for your reply.
W.colton crew was talking to Roseville on the SP dvd in 90's.
The Roseville dispatcher was answering like "Roseville WR77" or something like that.(I don't know what WR# stand for)
l have no idea in 80's so I'd like to find out more.
If somebody know this? Please help.
I don't know the answer to your question but Roseville is in northern California. Southern Pacific's main yard in southern California is in Colton. The dispatcher might be there or in Los Angeles. In an old TV movie from the 1970s it was controlled in Los Angeles.
j..........
Thank you for the info.
Do you know who controlled Los Angeles area in 1980's?
Roseville?
If you have any information please let me know.

That's just normal radio rules and they are more or less Federal rules.
The dispatchers would have used CTC and TT&TO, converting to DTC by the 1990's, they would not have used TWC.
