I am probably mis-reading things here somewhere, but I have a question.According to this, Extra East 487-488 sat at Lava from 2:35 AM until 5:50 AM waiting to meet Extra West 481. I take that to mean that he had a "wait" order with those times on it.It then says that Extra East 487-488 was at Antonito from 6:20 AM to 6:25 AM

But Extra West 481 didn't leave Antonito until 6:00 AM.

If Extra east 487-488 left Lava at 5:50 AM heading east, and Extra West 481 left Antonito heading west at 6:00 AM, just where did they actually meet? Or was there one heck of a cornfield meet that day on the narrow gauge that the orders don't tell us about?
