HC1llS the trains were OfiSlIdliy "
have met and passed at Oakdale Park,
but to help the eastbound train the dis
patcher issued new orders, fixing Fox
as the meeting place. The eastbound
train received it's order to this effect,
and the ~westbound should have re-
ceived this order at McCord's. Instead
1t rushed by this station, and the oper-
ator there, after reporting this fact,
found on going out to the platform that
his red signal light, which had been
burning two minutes before, was out,
presumably e~Xtinguished by the high
wind that was blowing.
