    Train orders from Burlington and Santa Fe Railroads

    Manuscripts

    Prior to the adoption of newer train dispatching methods, train orders were the primary means of providing temporary instructions, or instructions for a specific train. Train orders were issued at stations along the route. If a train crew reported for service at a station, the orders would be received there. At other stations, the orders would be handed up to the train crew members "on the fly". Train orders were of two basic types: Train orders pertaining to authorization of train movements or train orders pertaining to operating or track conditions. Trains orders of the second type usually involved temporary speed restrictions, or maintenance of way personnel on the tracks. One train order is a Santa Fe Form 933 from July 1, 1944. Four are Form 19s from the Burlington Lines from January 1947.
