Amtrak 6 crew change at Winnemucca Nevada and highball call to SLC

Amtrak Train 6 makes an engine crew and passenger conductor relief at Winnemucca, Nevada. The fresh crew will take the train into SLC with one stop along the way at Elko, Nevada. In the first half of the video, the UPRR Dispatcher makes sure that Amtrak has 2 track warrants in their possession before they highball out of Winnemucca.

I`m surprised that they still refer to (themselves, in this case) as ``dispatcher``, rather than the newer term or title of RTC or Rail Traffic Controller.

It’s a rules thing. If they control only CTC they’re technically control operators but if they have any track warrant areas they are Train Dispatchers. Railroads for the most part have them looking over territories that have both so it just sticks.
