Unlike most other railroads, the DTO  appropriately engaged the BRS to seek our collaboration with developing its plan for certification of Dispatchers and Signalmen.  DTO submitted their plan to the Organization for review back in October.  We then solicited feedback through our local officers and held a call with DTO management in November.  Valuable feedback and suggestions were received by members in both crafts and those were presented to DTO on our November call.  They were very receptive to our feedback and are making changes to the plan to reflect some of the concerns raised.  Once finalized, certification plans are to be submitted to the FRA by March of 2025.
