Reply to "Hand Passed Train Orders?"

An example of things other than train orders being hooped up:

On an eastbound road switcher we had a short car that would have required a drop to spot it.  We decided to set it out at the first station beyond its destination and let a west man pick it up and spot it.  The 'Powers That Be" learned our intentions and told us to do the drop.  Our conductor said he would do it as long as he had a typed message order to go along with his paperwork.  At the next open station a message for us was hooped up regarding this move.

P.S.  ditto Number 90 on the use of a flag stick.
