Listers,
   
  One the east end the Chief had a small power sheet that mirrored what Power Control showed and the chief kept track of cabooses as well.  If I remember correctly we also tracked walkie talkies (radios nowadays).

"Sounds very familiar. That's how we did it on the NYC. Power control determined the number of
units to move from point A to point B. The transportation superintendent determined how to power
specific trains (except for those governed by system policy), and specific units were assigned by
the engine house that had the units. 

"Power going to the shops would be put on a Cleveland train if it was EMD or a Syracuse train if it
was Alco."

And then went on to say that this was also done, that is, centralized control, for cabooses. Did
the ERIE/EL do that too?
