| Milwaukee Road Train Order No. 122, June 17, 1964 to C&E (Conductor and Engineer) Eastward Trains and Operator (Bernard). Taken at Oakland Tower (on the CB&Q and CMStP&P joint trackage between St. Paul south to St. Croix Tower). The order gives trackage rights to Extra 954 West (CB&Q #954 was a GP30) which will run westward on the eastward track-the reason for this move is long forgotten. Maybe the train had to set out or pick up a hot car at a customer's siding. The Milwuakee Road Dispatcher that evening was FHR and the order was made complete at 8:37 PM. Bernard would have to hand this order up to conductors and engineers on every eastward train so the Dispatcher asked Bernard to Copy Form 19 and told him how many copies he should make. He made one extra. To see another order written at the same tower and with far more description of orders and how they work and why they are called flimsies see: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=586452 |
