I'm wondering if anyone can help me find out what the "DS" Dispatcher
numbers are for the ex-BN dispatcher desk's that control the lines that are
in Illinois, Iowa and Missouri as well as western Wisconsin, any help on
any of these would be great. I got all the ex-ATSF ones already but I
Never hear any of the Dispatchers that work the old BN territories using
these numbers[for some reason or the other] and I would like to have
the info for info sake, I would think that BNSF would at least eventually
try to get ALL their dispatchers under a unified system of radio identification. Again any help would be great

I don't know what you mean, Is it the name of the dispatcher assigned to each line? ( ex East End, Mainline, C&I)

On the Ottumwa sub its by his initials ( like Kevin the day guy is KRS Mike the 2nd trick guy is MLP) their title is Ottumwa sub dispatcher when calling him.
Chilli East and Chilli west for the Chillicothe divison. C&I out on the Barstow sub,and Brookfield sub for Galesburg to W Quincy.
No idea what those numbers are ( must be aSanta Fe thing? or old BN thing?) but I hope this helps.
