This is one area (among many) where the WW&F group really shine. They work entirely with hand signals. They don't use radios, period, which can occasionally result in some interesting situations. On the winter weekend, the participants convinced the organizers to change plans and run a double header, so the conductor had to hike back to Alna center to talk with the dispatcher and the crew of the other loco to set up the new moves.
