#1 delayer is the train delayer, uh i mean dispatcher. like some of the others said you have other things like air hose separations also called a UDE(undesired emergency), hot box detectors (pretty rare), broken rails (common especially when it's cold out), signals messed up, yards holding you out (very very common, especially at major yards, like kansas city). a little quick story you might like, we had an officers special comming east at pratt,ks, but he was behind a "short time" train (crew was about to hog law. well the dispatcher messed up a meet and the short timer did hog, on the main, with no siding around. needless to say the officer's special was also now stuck behind the dead train. <br />to make matters worse the dispatcher is one who gets really flustered, really quickly. in this case the dispatcher go so upset, she disappeared for 2 hours, no one could get a hold of her. it was pretty bad, and i'm sure she probably got a bit of an @$$ chewing!
