>> In your previous post you mentioned the TT instructions that Zephyr type
motor trains must slow to 60 to pick up orders.
I've also noticed in some of the old TT's that orders can only be handed up
on the right hand side on "Zephyr type motor trains. This was also in the
letter of instructions for the operation of the "test" Denver Zephyr
operating from Chicago to Denver in October 1936. <<
In this vein, may I remind that Zephyr territory had special speed signs
referring only to Zephyr motor trains, in light of their ability to take curves
etc. at higher safe speeds - I drew them up in Editor's Notebook in RMC for
either Feb or March 1971 (the issues with the Pioneer Zephyr article/drawings).
It would make a nice "extra touch".
