West Green River Dispatcher         
Dispatcher George Hunter contemplates the railroad between Green River and Granger, WY with fountain pen at the ready for OSs. The smaller panel on the left controlled Strawberry to Ogden. The 4th Sub of the Wyoming Division had some 46 miles of CTC and 126 miles of ABS double-track territory. One of the speakers was for the radio and operators; the other for the Curvo annunciator - an open mike near Wahsatch where eastbounds would roar past, thus giving the DS an idea where his train(s) were between Echo and Altamont.
