Train Dispatchers

A train dispatcher (US), rail traffic controller (Canada), train controller (Australia), train service controller (Singapore) or signaller (UK), is employed by a rail transport company to direct and facilitate the movement of trains over an assigned territory, which is usually part, or all, of a railroad operating division.
