Actually, I would be very surprised if there was a train order "board" at Sumpter depot, since it was the end of the line or spur. Generally the rules would specify that a train could not leave a terminal without a clearance from the DS, making train order signals unecessary. In my experience, most stations at the end of a line or branch did not have a T.O. signal for that very reason.
