Sorry. guys...but every time I hear about the phone (box) I think of the old doggeral type poem which goes like this.... OH to be a conductor......the master of his train....his head stuck in the phone box........his XXX out in the rain"
I heard it first on the CB&Q so I guess it meets the "on topic" requirement.

His response to the question of how did crews know,it was OK to open up at manual switch from the sidings on the mainline Aurora Division sidings..... They went to the phone and talked to the dispatcher.
