reported on the news that csx is moving its chicago division HQ to North Baltimore Ohio.Does this mean the dispatchers will come with them or will they still have an office in Calumet City??

Isn't it true that there are going to be some reorganization for the operating crews, too? Isn't both Willard and Garrett rumored to be taking a hit, with crews having to report at North Baltimore instead?
yes crews for intermodal trains will take place at North Baltimore.Details haven't been hammered out quite yet.

CSX currently has Willard-Chicago and Willard-Buffalo assignments. I suspect that any crews that get HQ'd at North Baltimore will be for runs that originate or terminate at North Baltimore. Through trains, that have no work at North Baltimore will most likely continue to be crewed as the presently are.

Just a guess as I am not in the railroad industry...but there seems to be a central dispatch area for all of Chicago in CHICAGO. This allows for coordintion of movements from one railroad to another.
Is this correct? If so, my guess is that dispatch would stay in CalCity.
