As a young man, I worked on a survey party and we used these signals (along 
with a few more).

Some more old magazine articles I've found

There's a photo from 1905 of loco 504 - class I-1 (which, I think, was the 
Burlington's only group of tank cars)

A photo and description of loco 6000 from 1912
http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?u=1&num=511&seq=36&view=image&size=100&id=coo.31924062323088

Diagrams and information about the hopper bottom gons built for the B&MR as 
3647-4045 (odd numbers) in 1893, renumbered to CB&Q 71800-71971 in 1905, with 
the last 30 cars being renumbered again in 1911 to 70000-70029.  The last one 
left the roster in 1918

Back in 1913, the CB&Q engineers had their own set of hand signals
