Hobart Tower To Close

BNSF has posted notice of Hobart Tower closing this weekend.  Full control of the interlocking was cut over to the BNSF S=
an Bernardino Subdivision Dispatcher (DS15). 

Union Pacific apparently did not properly post a notice to notify the operators of the Tower's closing, so they are going=
 to be there an additional ten days of service before the tower is officially closed.  

UP said that the operators will be offered various clerical positions if they can't find a job within the system to their=
 liking. If they don't find an opening in the computer that they are interested in, they will fill the various clerical v=
acancies at Los Angeles area facilities.  Hobart Tower is the last operating interlocking tower in California. - Victor Y=
