On most passenger railroad lines in the northeast, commuter trains run during the day and the freight trains only come out at night, but on the CSX Boston Subdivision, long freights and priority intermodal trains share the rails with rush hour commuter runs on a daily basis. The NA Dispatcher coordinates these movements, balancing passenger schedules, van site cutoff times and necessary trackwork in order to keep the railroad fluid. And just when it seems like there will be a break from mainline traffic, there are trains on five different manual block territory branch lines to handle. Working the NA desk requires the dispatcher to be familiar with schedules and running times, and to formulate a plan to keep the traffic moving. Quick decisions must be made in order to avoid delays caused by late or disabled trains. The NA desk is an excellent territory for a dispatcher to sharpen his or her skills on.
