MOPAC GIVES A NEW FACE TO CTC

The Missouri Pacific's program for consolidation of its dispatching offices in district headquarters has been culminated with the centralization of the Eastern District's control of train operations in a new office in Little Rock. Four pushbutton-type CTC machines are located around a circular chief dispatcher's glass enclosure with space available for two additional CTC boards. A theater-type display of the territory controlled extends around the periphery of the room.
