Here's the "case" I referred to.

Occurred April 27, 1943....Work Extra 4962 and First Class train? No. 122...MC 
9850.

Look it up on the ICC website...Exactly as I described it and a perfect 
illustration of what Leo's engineer was telling him.

Leo et al

There was a "case" which illustrates exactly what your engineer was telling you 
that took place right in your own backyard.

I think it was early 1940's or so..It's on the ICC website...

There was a work extra authorized to work between Montgomery and 
Wedron....probably just the local down the branch to the sand pits.

He? was delayed at Montgomery by traffic on the mainlines for a considerable 
period of time....When the operator turned him loose he picked up orders at the 
tower, one of whi;ch was a "run late" on the Passenger Motor car coming up from 
Streator to the tune of an hour or so late maybe more....but by the time the 
delayed train got the order the Psgr was almost due on his Run late...

After crossing over the local engineer was occupied with getting his train 
started, whistling for several crossings etc and by the time he got the order 
read the Psgr was due and, not only due he was "there" and there was a head 
on....

After that, according to the ICC report the Q issued instructions that trains 
for the branch were not to be cleared (re train orders) until they were cleared 
to move across the mainlines and get on the branch.

I'll look the date up on this one, and post it, but it illustrates exactly what 
your man was telling you.

Before I tell the balance of the intimidation factor story concerning train 
orders at Denrock I need to clarify one point. Most of my stories deal with 
the 1970's as the Q didn't want me in '68 when I first applied. So it's 
technically a BN time period story but believe me;the characters are all old Q 
employees and for the most part the only thing that had changed was the paint 
colors.

Now the rest of the story..............I'm sitting on the left hand seat 
looking ahead as the engineer reads the orders that I had delivered after 
reading them myself. He takes awhile reading the rather thick wad that we had 
been 
handed that day. Upon completing his study he folded them neatly and tucked 
them behind the windshield wiper air line as was standard practice. He then 
educated me to the fact that orders are addressed to C&E of a train and should 
always be delivered to them immediately. This engineer did take the effort to 
explain that the logic was based on "there could have been an order that was 
for a point just east of Denrock and while you were looking at them I would 
be unaware of the need to take action". 
While this engineer and I usually got along well and I thought there was a 
level of respect between us, that lecture, that basically said as an 
examined(passed Condrs test but waiting for opening) brakemen with several 
years of 
experience I still wasn't to be trusted with the first read of train orders 
and knowing what to do about them,stayed with me to this day.
