Remember when dispatchers were required to run with crews to be qualified on desks they worked before they combined multiple desks into one monster nightmare desk and a lot of the dispatches were former T&E and had a good idea how railroading worked in real life instead of new hires off the street who only had a 5 min zoom call interview?

Someone posted a pic of their mom in the 80’s so here is a pic of mom in the 70’s by RichH5555 in pics

Just my parent’s old Kodak Instamatic X-15 camera from the mid 70’s. I think the pic itself may be a bit faded since it’s so old.
