I would suggest this was the change of a normal scheduled meet as the trains
have numbers rather then running as extras. A Scheduled Meet would show up on
the timetable schedule with small numbers noting the train to be met. The
Superior Train would be by RIGHT(train order) CLASS(1st, 2nd, extra) and or
DIRECTION(See note at bottom of timetable for this info)
In later years all scheduled trains had to have a Positive Meet. That is one
where both trains were addresed and told to meet at a certain location and
which train was to take the siding
No 209 take siding meet No. 210 at St. James. No 209 goes in even though he
may get there last.
Before CTC on the Peavine(Savanna to Galesburg) we use to make meets at Fenton
with the train backing or heading toward the track which use to go to Fulton.
Only one end of the train could see the meet.
On the Albia to Des Moines meets at Knoxville would be made with the trains on
sidings blocks apart due to the realignment. The main was one road and the
siding the other(Q and Wabash)
I better quit before I give away my whole clinic

As I go through my stack of TOs, both those I wrote and those I have
accumulated along the way, my favorite is a simple 31 from the Omaha Road dated
29 Oct 1943, 108A<
"NO 209 MEET NO 210 AT ST JAMES AND NO 202 AT BREWSTER. NO 210 HEAD IN BEHIND
COAL SHE AT ST JAMES FOR NO 209 AND BACK OUT."
As model railroaders, often-times we design our layouts to provide complete
passing tracks. Here is a prototype example of an alternative that I have
included and makes for some interesting operations on my layout.
