Hi group My name is Rodney i work for the BNSF as a conductor on some of my trips I have had on the road there were some dispatchers learning the route even some of the older dispatchers ride the routes as they which are in Fort Worth and Kansas City do not realy know the layout of the route the older dispatchers told us the crew that dispatching is more art than science being they are talking with the terminal some of them keep the train crew in the dark not letting them know if they are going to get held until the last moment while others tell us so we have a head up as to what is going on we have some dispatchers that realy get unwound when AMTRAK is in the mix and the track is single track CTC them they come on and say everyone in the siding and we most often set for 2 or more hours as for the math question throw it out they do not concern themselves with that it all revolves around the priority of the train.
