Sometimes the orders were received at a tower before the train entered the street. Not ll stations were train order stations. But just like any other station where the train stopped to receive traffic, and was a train order station, and there were indeed orders to be received, the agent stood at his spot on the platform or street, and hooped the orders on a long, wooden fork, to the engineman, then waited for the train to stop. He would then go up to the conductor and trainman, tell a few jokes, point out the attractive female passengers, and hand the crew their orders. <br /> <br />Mitch
