As far as I go my favorate just retired this year. That would be RHB. One of the other ones that was becoming pretty good was AJP, but I heard that he left and went to become a pilot, also MJD is pretty good, along with DM. These are just from where I run, on the AX and BX, there are others that I have heard on the SC/BD/AR/CR, that sound good to, just never had the chance to run under there leadership. Worst? I did not know there was any. I hate to name names on the worst, lets just say ones that I would like to see get some help, as I think they could be good ones, CLW, RBR. One of these days I would like to send you a e-mail and ask you some questons, if you dont mind.

MCO and GWD are my favorites.
RLH is boring IMO.

I love the lady on the Plymout Sub, forgot her name, but my favorite day is when she caused a back up in Plymouth, I talked to a crew with a Slug set and a SD40-2 on a 64 car train, they passed the dispatchers boyfriend in Williamston, then they got the hole in South Lyon where I talk to them, died before making it to Plymouth a mear 8 miles, and were passed up by her boyfriends train, His train was given proity over 3 trains from Fowlerville to South Lyon, it was Empty Tubs Vs. a load Rack, Intermodual and a mixed. The crews got a real kick out of it when I said I know about the Dispatcher and how she does a bad job. I love her, I have talked to so many dead crews, this one time when a tree fell over the line in a State Park (MP41.0 on the P. Sub) There was a train at the westend of South Lyon, The crew was happy cause they had been dead for 2 hours at 2pm, I was with them for two hours, went to wixom to see more trains, came back a 7pm and the two guys were still up their waiting, they even gave me a Canadian Pacific Water from their SD40-2.

i have to say, from an ns stand point...
GWd has always been pleasant, and help full..
i used to chat him on occasion, was going to see him in florida once too..but, alas, was hung up @ moms too long...
was always good to talk to him.'
thanks to GWD for showing me what a dispatcher could be like. especially in CR days..
Scott...aka..crz626...remember that number? old CR moniker, before the black plague..
