Every train order I ever saw was tied with a simple overhand knot  around the orders with a square knot at the bottom but maybe you Lines West guys were more sophisticated than people on this end!

After I got to thinking about it and leaving the computer I'm thinking that the train order tie was what is described in the Boy Scout Handbook as the FISHERMAN'S KNO'T...I've never actually tied one that was used, but I think that I practiced with a piece of string from time to time.

Tim...Do you have a Boy Scout handbook....If so I think it was..."A bowline and a bite"....I remember looking at the knot on the order hoops at the Langdon depot back in the late 40's early 50's and thinking...and maybe commenting on this...

 

I think maybe I could tie one if I had the patience to try it.....

 

Lennie...How about you....????

Does anybody have a diagram of how to tie the slip loop on a order string that held the train order ??
