Questions about N&W's ORDER 19 in Operating Rules during 1920s, etc.

[NW Mailing List]

Oh, Skip ~ I gladly accept your very kind offer!   You may, if you prefer 
to make the Form 19 an email  attachment, send it directly to 
_NWinNscale at aol.com_ (mailto:NWinNscale at aol.com) .  
 
My own  listing of railroads that eventually became a part of the  N&W 
indicates that the N&W purchased the NF&D  (originally the Atlantic & Danville) 
for $1,500,000 on September 28,  1962.  If you happen to have a record of 
the dates of  incorporation for either or both of these roads, this would 
allow  me to fill in some  blanks.                                               
                                           Thanks  so much ~ Don Jackson

I have several copies of Form  19 from the Norfolk, Franklin & Danville
Railway.  I will be glad to scan one and send it to  you.

Harry ~
It seems to me  that the pocket size book N&W Operating Rules (rubber
stamped 41075,  128 pages) must not be the only RULES BOOK in use by N&W
years  ago.  I can't find any mention of Form 19 train orders in my  book.
There must be some explanation.  Thanks for all your helpful  input ~ Don


At hand is the N&W Operating  Rules  eff. Jan 1, 1967(see pg. 5) which is 
128
pages and there is no  mention of Form 19 train orders.  While I don't have
consecutive rule  books, the one effective Nov. 18, 1951 does have a replica
of the Form 31  (and the Form 19).  Sometime between those two dates,  N&W
discontinued use of the Form 31 train order, leaving only the Form  19 in
effect. When the Form 31 was in effect, it was issued to the train  whose
rights became restricted and required signature of the conductor.  Remember
that before the order was transmitted, the dispatcher would direct  each
operator which form to use. 

There are a multitude of ways for  two opposing movements to meet -- a 
"wait"
order designating the superior  train to wait at station(s) until a 
specified
time allows the inferior  train to advance with respect to the "wait"
time.  Or it can be  accomplished like the VGN Rwy did it -- without ever
issuing an  order.  The operation of Nos. 3 and 4 was so predictable that
orders  were rarely issued.  The designated meeting point in the timetable
was  Nutbush and No. 3 would take siding, clearing the time shown for No.  
4's
departure. If No. 3 was unable to clear No. 4's time, it would protect  in
accordance with Rule 99 or wait at Victoria until No. 4 arrived. Harry
