Switch List branch operations questions?

[NW Mailing List]

Tom,
     On the Shenandoah Div. the agent would give the conductor a message 
with a list of what cars needed to be placed or pulled from an industry 
along with the bills for the cars that were being pulled. The list would 
show the car numbers, where each was to be spotted or pulled from and if 
cars were loaded or empty. The conductor would make a switch list of 
what was in the inbound train, similar to the one shown, to give to the 
yardmaster at the inbound terminal.  The conductor also made a CR10 (Car 
Report) listing the car number, type of car, load/empty, contents, 
approx. tonnage, destination and time pulled or placed at each industry. 
This was also turned in to the yardmaster at the completion of duty.
