Give me a break! AMTK dispactchers! What a laugh.I for one don't want AMTK dispatching my FRT.train.Or do you propose two dispactchers,one for frieght and one for AMTK sitting at the same console.Who pays for the AMTK dispatcher?Pays plenty for running their trains ?Not hardly.When you have a single track running at almost near capacity at times ONE train that requires all ather trains to get out of its way does create a tremendous traffic nightmare.All those trains sitting at various points along the subdivision all sit longer account the first trains to go after AMTK passes are the priority trains which cause the other trains to sit longer waiting for them to pass and so on and so on.Their have been situations where every siding has been filled for 90 miles waiting for AMTK to pass.No place for anyone to go.Don't have to tell what happens when AMTK encounters a mechanical delay think you can figure out what it causes.
