The signature screen
The live train sheet anchors the console, displaying the complete status of all trains running across the line in a single view. It shows symbols, consists, gross trailing tons, car counts, crew hours-of-service countdowns against the federal twelve-hour law, milepost positions and track-warrant authority.
