Back in the early 1980's, I used to ride the Port Authority of Allegheny County's train to McKeesport Pa to work. One rare Saturday that I had to work was riding to work on one of PATs RDC cars. I knew most of the operating crew then and I was invited up to the cab to ride up front. When we got to Glenwood the engineer said to me "Why don't you get orders coming up from the tower operator?" I had only seen orders being grabbed only a couple of times, so I reached out the open window and held my open hand out to grab them with my fingers. The operator had the good sense to hoop the orders over my arm so I didn't miss them. Even better was when we got to McKeesport they stopped for coffee and they bought me one. They were some good times then.
