Reading about the use of the air brakes as a signal reminded me of something an old head engineer told me. Back before the crews had packsets, they would go south of Galesburg to the coal fields. I was told one of the locations involved switch moves where visibility was obstructed. So the crew would crack open the anglecock on the last car. The engineer would be watching the gauge for a drop in pressure. That was a signal to stop. When the switchman wanted the train to move again, he would crack the air again. This would go on in forward/reverse fashion until the work was complete. That too would be a big no-no in today’s railroad, although very clever. R.W.
