Nathan, i wouldn't worry about nicknames sounds like your fellow dispatchers will handle that and i bet that your voice will sound like at least 4 guys already work down there. My only advice after really thinking about and listening to the radio and thinking. 1 when you screw up and i mean like forget to line a train up don't just say "signal indication" because we know that there is prolly nothing holding us back that will change a signal from stop to clear. JUST YOU LINING US UP! 2 Don't lie to us. sometimes the truth sucks but we can't change it. i got lied to this morning and i hated it. maybe lie isn't right maybe just unrealistic. The one thing that will help and hurt you is seat time on trains and knowing who all the clowns are at least on the east end. 3 if you have a problem or just a question and don't care what the back room or anybody else cares and someone you know and trust is out there just nonchalanty ask them on the radio to call you on the phone. yes we are breaking some rules but we (I do anyway) all the time. We have so many enemies on the railroad with management i want my allies on the train and in the dispatch office to get my butt home.
