[CBQ] Re: Correspondence

The BNSF still uses this when telling train crews when they have to wait
for an opposing train to arrive and get through. It's also still used by
track inspectors for "track & time" between mileposts i.e. Milepost 100.12
and Milepost 120.30. Fun to listen to.

Something that hangs in my memory vividly is listening to the old time TO
operators repeat a train order. I wish there were some old timers still
around who could do it for a recording. If you were not familiar with what
they were doing and saying you would have thought they were speaking a
foreign language.
