Thanks for the heads up; I will watch for any changes on ATCS. FYI, the crossing railroad is not IHB, but NS's SC&S IT (South Chicago and Southern Industrial Track [ex-PRR]).

Based on the phone number in the timetable, it looks like probably in the North KC offices. Based on a BNSF GO effective 6/25, the NS dispatcher controls the entire joint trackage with BNSF from Maxwell to CP 224. NS DS phone number is in area code 217, so that must be in Decatur, meaning that the ...

The Landers operator still controls from Landers west, under the supervision of Metra dispatcher.

IHB version was added 4/2014 and CSX went away 10/2017.

Let's hope IHB sticks with RCL and not Dish Network. The weird thing about IHB Calumet Tower is that the CSX bits are no longer active (they used to be).

The IHB view of it (their routes only) is still active (71255610180202).

Well. It has been an interesting few years signal wise. Create Englewood, Gateway, 2 Elkhart projects, Crossover additions over and above gateway, upgrades on the Chicago District and Kankakee, PTC. About four years of constant projects. So now we have come to the end of most of it. So the question...

I see that. I wonder if it related to the track work going on in the area.

The latest ATCS kit has only double blocks now.

You may be right about the IHB issue. Republic is still on the air as is the IHB view of Calumet Tower. Dolton stayed online as well. Since they are dispatched out of the same office, I am not sure how/why IHB is handling this differently (but I am not complaining).

Thanks for the update. I will check my logs tonight.

I did notice that the NS approach blocks have been lit up almost continously. Hohman had five different brief test periods.

The two new addresses have been MIA since midday yesterday. On the IHB and CSX aide, nothing has really changed, but occasionally you can see most bits on at the same time, so some testing must be happening.

Thanks, that makes sense.

That's too bad.

Saw a fair amount of activity on 75501600030202 over night (should be CP 397), with a signal data point from 004 (CP 395). The 003 data almost looks like it is in service.

The IHB DOB for Monday mentions signal testing at Hohman and State Line starting at 0700.

They need the railfans to edit and proofread.

Thanks. IHB is working on track changes between Hohman and Gibson, so perhaps only NS to be done for now .

The original post showed Sunday 6/4, but 6/4 Is Monday. Which is it supposed to be?
