Talking Ops with Don Irace - Remote Dispatching

So where exactly is the dispatcher? If you're looking for a truly prototypical experience and have your railroad dispatched from afar, this episode is for you. Don Irace shares how, together with a friend, came with a way to keep the friend involved with his railroad despite a move out of state, and how that enhanced the operating experience. Don shares how you can prepare for remote dispatching and the things you'll need to make it happen.
