...i.e. when a dispatcher calls a train, how does the train identify itself?

... I still think NJT hasn't thought this whole thing through.. Why did they have to eliminate ALL the Dover Midtown direct trains?? If need be, they should have eliminated 75%, not all, but I guess that directive came from the "esteemed" governors office!! Do you still suspect they didn'...

My question is: How would I waybill the move? Would I have to pay to move my empty cars from my prop...

PGA Championship again at Baltrusol July 25th-31st, 2016. I cannot believe it has been almost 11 years already.

I think the Hoboken Division was changed to 25kV back when Conrail owned and ran everything. They replaced a DC system back before the Kearny Connection was a serious consideration.
