[CBQ] Re: Transfer Rules

[William Barber <clipperw@gmail.com>]

Bob,

In those days, a train was under the control of the conductor. I  
doubt he would leave his office behind. Any move outside yard limits  
required a way car. Many transfer runs came back "way car light".  
There is an excellent photo in one of the Spoor books of a Q O1-A in  
Kansas City returning to Murray Yard with just a way car.
