As I understand the article, it was bringing the equipment home for running a 'holiday' special using what would have been the Suntan or something like that....
This train order "example" was lifted out of context from the middle of an article in the DO. The basic premise was a unique movement of passenger equipment...

... Other than the possible issue of the order potentially being "illegal" because its so out of form, the idea of a right over order with waits is a very...
I wasn't there that day, and I am not arguing it was illegal. It just struck me as having too many places where something could fall down and some other order...
How many TO copies should a dispr direct an opr to make? First part of the answer is "what are the rules in effect"? Most rule books require two sets of...

Hi Vic, Great post. I'll throw another wrinkle into the mix. Again, this is particular to the Southern Pacific in the 70's and 80's so your advise to check the...
... Abt the only reason wwd trains might be affected by Exa 123 that comes to mind is if Exa 123 is on a schedule runner, but then: (1) If 123 is running...
... The form of the order isn't unusual, it conforms with most rule books. The manner of issuing it on the other hand -- superiority over wwd trains -- seems...
Seems like you simply prefer meet (XC) orders, Bill. Nothing wrong with that, GENERALLY SPEAKING. But there's nothing wrong with this DR either. A schedule...
... I'm unable to comprehend what you're trying to say about this DR being illegal, Dave. It certainly exists as such under most rule books (eg, 1967 CCOR...
... When something unforseen happens ("fall down" as you put it) it's quite normal and usual for other orders having to be "issued" to save the day. That's...
... From: "crip1978" <vic@...> ... The example shown in CCOR Form G (4) is not in the rule books I am familiar with (UCOR, NYC, RDG), which is why I...

TNX for clarifying that Dave. But remember that CCOR isn't the only set of rules using schedule runners. Eg, 1981 EJ&E G(4); 1965 D&RGW G(3); 1979 D&RGW...

... Your first mention of Form G(4) Dave, does it pertain to 1968 UCOR G(4)? The 1968 UCOR Form G(4) does indeed have running limits. Example, in its...
... The 1968 MP UCOR does not have leave or arrive times. I was asking about the arrival time in the CCOR form G (4). Unless you have an understanding that...
Hi Vic, My experience with operating a detector car, and sometimes the geometry car, was on the western lines. All the mainline track we operated on was...
... Under all the different rule sets using the traditional schedule running DR (D&RGW, SP, CCOR, 1962 [Cdn] UCOR, 1951 {Cdn] UCOR, EJ&E, etc), whether it be...
We have experienced the same situation... the process has been reduced to faxing the form to the rabbi, indicating the trailer number. He performs the blessing...
The need to bless (or wash) cars of kosher meat was a regular occurrence when I worked in NYC's transportation department HQ in the early 60's. A car that was...
