Subject: [CBQ] 1880s Train Orders


 

Today I stopped at the estate sale of Evie Gorman,wife of Wade Gorman,who 
was a longtime Aurora Division switchman,trainman and Condr. Among my 
purchases was a group of train orders.Most are from the 1930s on the C&I which 
make for interesting reading as this is pre CTC days.

But in the middle of the stack are orders from the 1880s. I will copy 2 of 
them verbatim below. Are they saying what I think they are? was this 
termed as "make best possible time" in the 50s and 60s ? It appears orders 
were written directly to Engineers/Conductors and not always to trains. 

1)Aurora 2/4/87

Yeckley, t Engr. Mendota

"run to (Streator or Sheridan) wild via East Sheridan Junction. Run to 
Earl ahead of #58.

GA
OK GA
10:47PM R Young

2) Aurora 1/29/85

Yeckley T Engr.

Aurora

"run to Chicago wild"

OK GA
145 ET

Both orders have the following notation in a different hand writing "13 
Yeckley".

There are two other 1885 orders that are more understandable to me,one is 
directed to the operator at Riverside to hold #12. The other again to 
Yeckley,T Engr at Downers Grove.
