The back Of the timetable is COW
cred with printed instructions for rail-
road employees. Trains running south
were to wait thirty minutes at meet
ing station for trains running north.
II, after thirty minutes, the expected
train did not come, the south-bound
train was to have the right Of way and
proceed carefully"
The speed Of freight, extra" and
stock trains was never to exceed tif-
teen miles an hour. All trains were
to slow down to eight miles in pass
Ing stations where no stops were made.
Throwing wood from tenders of en-
gines while the same are in motion Is
to be strictly forbidden. Wood that
