I like the dispatcher's no nonsense approach, or maybe it was the conductor of #1 with the delay report of "no steam". In past reports we see late on account of green wood. It is kinda surprising they were only delayed 5 min. to build steam. Better bet would be they were delayed somewhat longer but managed to make up some of the time later. The line of type writer strike overs under work trains points out how spoiled we are today with just hitting the back space key!
