    Awesome lashup!

  • I just spoke with and old friend from Gillette and he said Yadon died of cancer six months ago. Worked to death and never saw a day of retierment.

  • Train orders of course, delivered by Hoop and typed out on onion paper, delivered by a very young female holding a 12 ft. long pole to reach the engineer from the ground in front of the operator shack at Reno.

  • Did they have you using track warrants or train orders until the CTC was put it?

  • The fall of 79 best I remember I was fourth in line that day, all of us setting in our idling trains waiting for this banner to be set up. I remember Garrett and Yadon couldn't believe they were not called to be first through the banner and the guy that was called a good friend of mine brought this Youtube film to my attention. What a trip down memory lane the late seventies and early eighties, running in dark territory at first, the Burlington Northern soon got CTC up and running.
