I just  realized that EL's
freight trains were all treated as "extras" - since they  are not on a
schedule (even though they appear in the employee timetable,  this isn't
a "true" schedule but rather an approximation of when they'd  run), don't
they need to give the dispatcher notice that they're ready to  occupy the
main? Or would a yardmaster do this?

As long as TCS or ABS was in effect, the CREW would get verbal  permission 
from the Dispatcher or Operator to proceed.  Restricted speed  until the entire 
train passed the next signal displaying an indication more  favorable than 
Restricting.
