Systems Operations Center

Weilheim, Germany

We'll be running the layout from here. There is one job for a dispatcher, using an older laptop with a double screen card and the Railroad&Co. software program. This feeds into the Digitrax SuperChief which we will run on tethered and infrared cabs until Digitrax comes out with Radio Control on frequencies that are legal in Europe. SOC or Systems Operations Center was the term used by the Santa Fe for their Schaumburg, IL dispatching center. The whole railroad was governed from there. I had the honor of a tour around the facility in Oct. 1994.
