Hello,
I'm hoping that some of you dispatchers, operators, or C&E's can help me out.
On the Peoria Sub in the 50's and early 60's the Q used a manual block system
on this "dark territory." In the time table it says for the station at Yates
City, "no train order signal, trains must have clearance form A." My question
is, did the trains have to stop to pick up there clearance in this situation,
or could it be hooped up to them along with any 19 orders if any? Yates City
at this time was also within Yard Limits so I would assume that the train
would be heading in at restricted speed prepared to stop?
