The short answer to your question is "Yes." However: I agree with Vic that a meet order for such a situation is not very desirable. The tracks you refer to in...

To some extent this should not be necessary. Unless there is some specific reason to meet at x point and no other, no order should have to be issued. The local...
This is why conductors had to think on the road. Let's postulate that #2 and #4 have the sense not to run into each other at their meeting point. (remember...

Violate rule G on a model railroad, Never!!!! (Well, maybe sometimes if it is single malt.) You can have a register if you want to. It is your RR after all....
Does help to pay attention. You don't always know what engine is pulling #2 or #4, so to be safe, you are right. You cannot be certain everything is clear...

It pays not to be too aggressive in these matters. Not much happens on the model railroad, but screw this up on a 1:1 and you end up dead which can ruin your...
You are right. I was just being sloppy in my language and assuming a fairly passive-aggressive conductor. In the real world, dispatch would have noticed that...

Exactly. the whole point of having a dispatcher is to expedite things over the rails and to account for events not envisioned in the TT. If the #2 has work to...
