Reading the emails on train orders has been most interesting.  As I review some 
of the orders that I copied during my days on the BN "dark territory" between 
Lincoln, NE and Forrest City, MO, I notice that the TOs do not have no Form 31 
numbers in the upper corners; the only form number is a "Form 15108  1-76" 
printed in the lower left hand corner that I presume refers to the contract 
number and date of printing.  Am rather curious as to when "31" disappeared 
from the yellow flimsy!

Also, I have several sets of TO's from Carling Tower in Lincoln composed of the 
Clearance Form, yellow flimsy's and zerox copies of slow orders, equipment 
tie-ups, et.al., again with no Form numbers.

As an aside, I have been collecting TOs from different railroads in the area 
and have noticed some variances such as a C.St.P.M.&O Railway who was using a 
blue Form 19 from the WWII years.  Another "Omaha Road" Form 31 included the 
date typed as "APRIL 16TH-43."  

The most interesting TOs I have are some from the Quincy, Omaha & Kansas City 
Railroad Co. that are handwritten in 1918.  The operator must have taken a 
Caligraphy course as his writing is a work of art.

Hope this adds to discussion.
