Hi Al.........
I worked in train order territory between Edgemont, Gillette, and the mines.
There was a register shack at Black Thunder Mine, later "Junction", where the
mty would register in, and the load (same train) couldn't depart until they'd
checked the register for the mty.
The order that X4000E got at Dutch is a straight meet order, and I don't see
where it was superseded or annulled, so X4000E should stay at Clearmont until
X5000W has "arrived and been properly identified".
Of course....not knowing who the crew was or the running times (I never worked
west of Gillette) I don't think I'd hazard a guess as to what they actually did
:>)
Best,
BNMike Decker
