   Around 1985 the Norfolk and Southern Railway unstalled a new   
   dispatcher center in Fort Wayne, IN.   
      
   Safetran did the building of the actual CTC (Centralized Traffic   
   Control ) control machinery. They used DEC PDP-11 computers.   
   The traffic control system was coded in Pascal on the PDP-11's. The   
   interface was a model board about 40 feet long and 8 feet high with   
   some 5000 lamps and a custom keyboard, no video at that time.   
      
   I understand that dispatcher center is history now but remember   
   watching the programmers work long hours to get the system runnung.
