Superb shot! TAW Date: 05/27/23 20:11 Re: Grabbing orders at Colfax 1960 Author: CimaScrambler Date: 05/27/23 20:31 Re: Grabbing orders at Colfax 1960 Author: Notch7 That is a great pic. Grabbing 19 orders wasn't always easy. Thankfully I grabbed orders from an engine rather than a caboose, but like that flagman sometimes I had to step outside. Most of the trainorder racks I encountered were not tall enough for E-units. I had to step outside on the top ladder rung and still bend down to grab the orders. Thankfully there was an inside handrail to hold onto.

Once acknowledged, it is cataloged for you to retrieve on screen as needed - as are your initial dispatcher bulletins. The newly received and acknowledged instructions are added to your PTC enforcement profile and appear as you near them on your screen. If they don't appear you comply as always and inquire.
