Green Flags on Train 5

[NW Mailing List]

Harry, Thanks. This is Bluefield VA so probably not assigning a second
section to protect an crew from the Hours of Service Law. Any other second
section ideas? Ed mentioned helpers in a hurry to Finney. Seems like a
reasonable scenario.

John:
That No. 5 is displaying green signals is that section(s) are following.
Remember, a train is superior by right, class, and direction.  This photo
was made before TC had been installed on the CV, so it's in the time table
and train order era.  The Clinch Valley dispatcher apparently has found a
benefit in advancing a following movement using No. 5's class to give it
superiority, e.g. a freight en route to Norton about to expire on the Hours
of Service Law.  Harry
