Yes, a clearance form and/or orders could be hooped up at that station. The
train could not "pass' the station w/o a clearance beyond that point. In some
cases if the operator at the station was going to be off duty you could
receive your clearance for that point from another point. For example at
Denrock trains were required to have a clearance to go onto the branch to
Mendota. You could receive that clearance at SV w/your other orders if the
operator wasn't going to be on duty at Denrock when you went by.In rare cases
the conductor or engineer could be required to copy an order to themselves.
