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.
Nice! I wonder if they put concrete ties there now.
