TT & TO Question

Classic Trains General Discussion
1

From the Central of Georgia rule book 1947;

Example of a Time Order;

No 2 Eng 911 wait at H until 9:59 am for No 1 Eng 912.

The first named train is supposed to wait until 9:59 am for the second named train. If the second named train does not show up by 9:59 am, the first named train can leave anyway.That much I get. My question has to do with Train No 1.

Now, here’s my question;

The rule book says" The train last named is required to run with respect to the time specified, at the designated point or any intermediate station where schedule time is earlier than the time specified in the order, as before required to run with respect to the schedule time of the train first named."

What does that mean?

No 2 can leave H upon arrival of No 1 (if schedule permits) or at 9:59 am. Upon leaving H they revert back to their original schedule at stations I thru Z, unless they hold additional “Run late” order(s).

If No 1 can not get to H and clear as prescribed by rule by 9:59 am, they then must clear No 2’s original schedule times at I thru Z.

The above is assuming No 2 is superior to No 1 by direction as was the case on most railroads subdivisions.
