Probably true nowadays, but the dispatchers' numbers for both CN and TH&B (CP) were listed in the 'phone book back in the '70s and '80s.
Stein, I'm pretty sure that the USPS still ships mail on the rails, although most, if not all, is via piggyback.

Most of the USPS distance service is via airlines, very little makes it's way via rail anymore. It actually makes more money for the airlines than passenger service does. UPS uses piggyback, even though they operate the largest air fleet in the civilian world (at least they did a few years ago).
