Clearance card
Title:  Clearance card
Description:  A clearance card served as a table of contents for train orders issued to a particular train. The operator would fill out the clearance card then contact the dispatcher to verify the train orders given to a particular train. The dispatcher would give his o.k. and the time the train was cleared, in this case 145AM.

Train order
Title:  Train order
Description:  This one threw me for a minute. During this time eastbound trains had right over opposing trains of the same class. I had assumed that both these branch line trains were of the same class making an eastbound 72 already superior to a westbound 71. However a look at an Alabama division timetable dated 6/15/75 tells the reason. Eastbound 72 was listed as a third class train while westbound 71 shows a second class train making 71 superior. Before 72 could occupy the mainline, he had to have something on 71 thus this train order.

Train order
Title:  Train order
Description:  These type train orders were used when track gangs were occupying the mainline working on the track. A track foreman would have the dispatcher issue these type train orders and then he would put up signs at the limits designated by the train order as a further means of protection. A train should have the train order but in the event it was not delivered, the signs were another layer of protection. If a track foreman wanted to work on track and did not have one of these order issued, he would have to provide flag protection in both directions thereby reducing the number of people he had available to work. This type order was known as a "Y" order. The rule book gave examples of all train orders that could be used. The types were designated as example "A", "B", etc. This particular example was listed under the heading of "Y" therefore it became known as.....a "Y" order. They were used frequently and usually typed up in advance with the blanks filled in later as seen here. The particular foreman shown here is J E King....James Earl King of Clio Alabama. I knew him well during my days working as the agent/operator in Eufaula. I still see James Earl from time to time and he is doing well in retirement. He, myself, and several others from the Eufaula area went on a deep sea fishing trip many years ago....but this is a family oriented message board....we won't go into that.

Amtrak 545 in Alabama
Title:  Amtrak 545 in Alabama
Description:  Amtrak SDP40F is the sole unit on train no.56, the northbound "Floridian" as it makes its station stop at Montgomery AL in January 1979. The "Floridian" was Amtrak's last attempt at a direct Chicago to Florida5train; it was anulled only ten months later. Looking back now I wonder why I didn't shoot a picture of the whole train and the station; ah, but that's irrelevent now. As for this unit, the five-year old 545 has only a few months to go before it went back to EMD as trade bait for a new F40PH.
