- Reading about the use of the air brakes as a signal reminded me of something an old head engineer told me. Back before the crews had packsets, they would go south of Galesburg to the coal fields. I w

- That was not a rule by the IHB. Had no radios at all so that was the only moves that could be used. Radio agreement did not happen until Engineers got it in 1977. Even then many still did everything
