      Nice! Were there any depots on their line? Or were the train orders all crew copied?

      :D

      Crews got their orders before leaving Oneida.
      There was a regular pattern or schedule they followed the times I went there.
      Two crews went to work about 7am. One worked mines on the "main line" the other worked branches as needed. About 2pm a pusher came on duty to assist loaded trains back to town. Work was done and everything put away by 7pm.

      Aside from Oneida, the only places I have seen train orders from, are Morco, and Monterey Junction. But wonderd if those were crew copied.

      :D

      I do remember seeing some buildings that could have been train order offices but I never saw any one handing up orders. I just suppposed orders were written at Oneida and delivered by car or by the pusher engines.

      Maybe I should scan my three orders? Put up a brief thread?

      :D
