Louis short flagging was pretty routine. Especially when it was for what ap=
pears here to be a westbounder on main 1 picking up at the "Park".  As you =
mentioned there's no flag or fusee displayed so the flagman is expecting a =
routine short stop. One didn't wonder too far back for fear of getting left=
 or having to set the air from the rear waiting on the flagman to get back =
on board.=20

I came very close to being left at La Grange road westbound on a dinky in k=
nee deep snow when=20
The train went into emergency to avoid hitting an auto on the crossing whic=
