TCX FOR DISPATCHERS

Dispatching center for Chessie System's Ohio Division has brought together four dispatchers covering 1,250 miles of line. A computer-assisted relay-logic traffic control is part of this installation along with a Total Control Exchange (TCX) communications center based on microprocessor technology. TCX achieves a coordination of all communications paths, permitting freedom and flexibility in selecting audio paths throughout the entire division and treating each mode (radio, telephone, dispatcher circuits) identically, regardless of type.
