Scioto Div. station info needed

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

None of my lists show anything for Mowrystown. Most telegraphic calls, 
to my understanding, were for stations on mainlines, or with 
connections to mainlines where the would be more than a single train 
operating on the branch that might require a meet in the unsignaled or 
train order territory. Some branches operated with rules by a train 
register, i.e. the first train to register in the book on the branch is 
the train with rights over the branch, any subsequent trains coming on 
the branch had to protect itself from the initial train as there. This 
would be generally be a short, branch, longer branches may well have 
had telegraphic stations issuing train orders.

Hillsboro was operated as one of the train register branches, at least 
as of 1946 which I think is the earliest employee timetable for Scioto 
that I have. and there was no listing for scheduled trains in the 
employee timetables. I don't have any specifics as I don't know the 
territory well, but passenger service was discontinued some time 
before.
