Clicking on a Province brings up telegraph, agent, operator, and dispatcher names associated with that province. The names shown on each provincial list is NOT a complete list.
To be included in this railway telegraph genealogical series, please e-mail RGB.
 Photographs can be displayed on my site beside the agent, operator, dispatcher. Please provide all necessary information with any photo images so I may credit them correctly to the source. |

To be eligible for membership, a person must have held or currently hold seniority as a Train Dispatcher or RTC on a Canadian railway. Annual CATD membership dues of $10 entitles a member to a quarterly newsletter called "The CATD/RTC Clearance" and attendance at the annual CATD Convention. The 2013 Convention, our 60th Anniversary, will be in Calgary, Alberta (tentatively 24-26 May).
For ALL information on the CATD/RTC, please visit the CATD/RTC Website first THEN to Leland Harms or other Executives listed in the most recent Clearance. (Note: The 2014 Convention will be held in London, Ontario - details to follow).

Most of the names appearing on these provincial webpages come from authentic Canadian National, Canadian Pacific, Order of Railroad Telegrapher, seniority lists and biographers in railway magazines, obituaries, and actual contributions from the railway and railway personnel. Even within these railway lists errors occur; example: for many years my uncle is listed as McAlpin when the correct spelling is McCalpin. No other claim is being made or undertaken here except to Honour the memory of these incredible contributors to Canada, the railway, and to their roles as telegraphers, operators and dispatchers. Mistakes happen - if you see something, please send me an e-gram so it can be corrected and updated. Please note, not everything can and is included on my webpages for obvious reasons.
