Out in the PRB, post-merger, Rule 91 was frequently stretched a little.  For instance, by two mtys leaving the siding at Moorcroft.  The first train would show out when they started pulling, and the second when the west switch was closed up behind it.  That way, the 'Delays' showed 10 minutes apart.  They would then run for Rozet and Donkey Creek in sight of each other...mostly because it's pretty flat there and you can see for miles.  In those days, if you stopped, the waycar crew would call the train behind to tell them where you were.  The only serious rear-end collision we had occurred in CTC, when the following crew went to sleep coming down YT hill and smacked the train ahead, which had stopped on the main at Pedro to pick up a dead crew off the train in the siding.  The waycar crew on the stopped train ended up being dead.  That was on Easter weekend in '82 or '83.
