Elkhart Crew Boards
There is proposed by NS an Elkhart master crew board for Engineers & Conductors. Crew callers would no longer have a Chicago pool, Toledo/Cleveland pool or Ft. Wayne/Peru pool. All jobs would be called for from a master pool list for both positions. Granted crews would be qualified for runs and flexibility would be increased which of course is the grand plan anyway.

Re: Elkhart Crew Boards
CN does something similar, at least on the GTW. Rather than having individual pools and extraboards, they have a giant extraboard that covers everything in every direction out of a terminal: yard, local and road trains.
