Failure To Communicate

From June 1993: while going through hours of recorded rail radio traffic, I found this exchange between the CSX SM Dispatcher who was controlling the former B&O in the Middletown Ohio area. This dispatcher had a reputation for no nonsense. D744 (a symbol today used for a Lima south local) apparently didn't have a working engine radio and had to have another train relay all of the messages.
