By giving right to 481 between Durango and Gato, 483 must stop at Gato to await 481's arrival. This creates a positive meet without there being a schedule.

Once again, I love train orders. One flimsey piece of tissue paper with the whole day's operation on it.

Today it would have been at least 3 seperate track warrants:

483 Chama to Gato.
481 Durango to Gato.
481-483 Gato To Durango, which could not be issued until 481 arrived at Gato and cleared it's first Warrant.

How did we manage to run trains like this then without everyone crashing into each other?
