I can find a lot of the information online now. I am lucky to live in the state very well chronicled by perhaps the greatest rail resource website ever made, UtahRails.net. If Don Strack hasn't put it in that website, I probably don't need it for my modeling goals. That site is free, available 24/7; and a great resource. Why would I need an NMRA data pack when a detailed history of things such as the entire Union Pacific diesel roster up to the turn of the millenium are a few keystrokes away?</p> <p> </p> </div> </blockquote> <div class="quote-footer"> </div> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Yes, that's a good site.<br /><br />However, 90% of what you read on the Internet is just plain wrong.  The NMRA has spent a very large amount of time making sure the information is correct.  One of my specialties is timetable and train order operation.  I've learned through the NMRA, from actual retired TT&TO dispatchers.  Online, the vast majority of TT&TO information is, at BEST, highly simplified, and usually just plain wrong.</p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>I learned everything I know about TT and TO from the</p> <p>-Operations Roadshow at the 2014 and 2016 NMRA Conventions</p> <p>-19 East, Copy Three (OPSIG publication)</p> <p>-Rights of Trains by Peter Josserand.</p> <p>-Operations Conpendium (OPSIG publication)</p> <p>-Dispatchers Office publication</p>
