| This one threw me for a minute. During this time eastbound trains had right over opposing trains of the same class. I had assumed that both these branch line trains were of the same class making an eastbound 72 already superior to a westbound 71. However a look at an Alabama division timetable dated 6/15/75 tells the reason. Eastbound 72 was listed as a third class train while westbound 71 shows a second class train making 71 superior. Before 72 could occupy the mainline, he had to have something on 71 thus this train order. |
