Bernie Feltman General After the fire, where would a train crew be able to get a train order in this town? 2/21/2010 9:48:56 PM
Michael Palmieri General Notice the lack of a train order signal. This was not a train order office. Trains got their orders east of here, outside the yard office. 2/22/2010 9:11:26 AM
Joseph Moreaux General The Train Order Office was some 2 miles east (to the left) of the Passenger Station. Train Order Signal located at the Yard Office. 6/22/2010 4:12:50 PM
