Or "hit the bell" or "He's shining me right now" Ever hear that last one, Steve? And how about "riding yellows" and "running crooked"?

How about “On the circuit” or  “hit the circuit”?

I am VERY MUCH  INTERESTED STEVE/..  Anybody else with anything along this line...I'm getting warmed up  (again) to the idea of putting together a "compendium" of this stuff...ie RR terms, references, abbreviations pertinent phrasing etc).

I knew I had another item just had to dig it out
My Train Sheet from Monday Sept. 17, 1962.  This was saved by P K Hannah and I managed to talk him out of it.
It covers the Bushnell to Beardstown Sub(Roseville to Beardstown thru Bushnell)(Now the busy coal main)(( on this day only 62 north with 66 annulled and 63 and 73 south.  And the wayfreight with engine 308 worked from Beardstown to Vermont side trip to Astoria and then all the way to Roseville and back to Beardstown),  Peoria to Galesburg Sub, Fairview and Lewiston Sub (Fairview to South Liverpool) and the Buda and Vermont Subdivision
The train we are looking for ran that day as a work extra on duty at 10 AM in Canton using motor 9405-B having been rebuilt with a cab in 1954.  The sheet does not show them departing Canton(CO)((telegraph call))  until 140Pm working Norris(NS)150-202 Farmington(FA) 217-230 and arriving Yates City(CD) at 235 with 3-2- 290 departing at 330 with 2-45-1000(loads-empties-tons)  Elmwood(WD) 339-347 then must have done some kind of work as did not get to Bradford until 935 Pm with 1-3-150 and departed at 1000 Pm with 4-0-320  WD 1247-1255AM CD arrived at 1:50 with 23-0-1852 and out 1:25 W/C(waycar lite) and slid into home plate at Canton at 1:55AM W/C relieved at 1:59 (the 16 hour rule was in effect and would have died at 2:00AM.
John Mitchell's Bulletin 35 covered the Illinois Coal Fields South of Beardstown.  This sheet covers the Coal Fields North of Beardstown With a lot of coal dumped in South Liverpool.
When your ready Charlie I think I can do a pretty good small Bulletin
Dave this has a train to Roseville might be able to shoehorn into the material you have now
Pete here are some items for your list.  Telegraph Calls often used to abbreviate for calls and notations.  Somewhere I have a whole list if you are interested.
