Monitoring to P&W recently, I heard the dispatcher give a track warrant, and then have the conductor repeat it back perfectly. The dispatcher replied something similar to "And the engineer copies all of that"? To which the conductor replied "Engineer copies". The dispatcher then states, "I need to hear the engineer state himself that he copies." *long pause* The engineer then grabs the mic and replies that he copied the track warrant.
Apparently directly from the 'Department of Redundancy Department'.
