Speaking strictly from memory....I believe that some of the old timetables carried wording that said something on the order of "Zephyr trains must SLOW to 60 mph when picking up orders"
 
I don't have the time or the inclination right now to look it up, so I'll stand corrected by anyone with better  "first hand" or documentary evidence.

Was there a speed restriction when picking up Form 19 train orders? How fast could a train be going and still reliably pick them up without maiming somebody?

Bob

How often were train orders dropped when you were handing them up with the train on the move?

You haven't lived until you've had the chance to stand in the cinder ballast, out next to the track at 11 PM to hand up train orders to the brakeman on that beast.  A hundred cars later you get to repeat it for the brakeman in the waycar.  I had to do that often in the early 1950's at Concord, Illinois.
