Leo -
If that's all the information the 4 EB passenger trains received at Savanna 
Tower relative to the movement of the two westbounds, then they all would wait 
@ Sav. Tower until the two westbound O-5's arrived @ Sav. Tower.

Was the 1929 Rule Book in effect in 1942?  Looks like a basic S-C form train 
order.  Can't believe the "ever frugal" CB&Q would print another  "Rules of the 
Operating Department" during the Depression, but they may have; I just don't 
have a copy of it.
