SCOPE AND CONTENT

This collection contains four items, train orders on the Chicago Division of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, issued to westward trains from I Tower (possibly in DeKalb County, Indiana) in January and February 1969. The orders, dated from Akron [Ohio?], concern matters such as speed limits for specific areas and loads, and open hours for certain towers. One of the places mentioned is St. Joe, which is in DeKalb County. The operator who wrote out the orders made some of the most elaborate capital letters ever devised.
