Over the past 2 months I've really gotten addicted to listening to the BNSF Northtown yard operations and West Hump dispatcher on the scanner, and the Hinckley Sub dispatcher too (because that line runs very near my house). <br /> <br />I've gotten to pretty much understand the Northtown lingo, but there are three things I've yet to figure-out: <br /> <br />1.) What is the "99"? I've heard, for example, "Galesburg-Superior - that's your ninety-nine." <br /> <br />2.) What is the "603"? <br /> <br />3.) Is the "switch tender" the same person as the West Hump dispatcher?
