GN Dispatchers Train Order Book for Monday, December 10, 1956; district Wenatchee to Seattle - selected orders.
This was the aftermath of a bad storm resulting in closure of GN, NP, and Milwaukee lines. GN got their Cascade line open first, and not only handled their mail trains 27 and 28 (Normally truncated at Spokane except during Christmas mail season), operating same as sections of various other GN trains, but also handled NP 2 due out Seattle 12/9 and also handled Milwaukee 15 due into Seattle and Milwaukee 16 due out of Seattle on 12/10. This is how the GN dispatchers put it all together, and made it work.
Later on Dec 10 when the NP re-opened, it ran its remaining passenger trains via the SP&S; that's why there is only one NP detour on here.
I might add, and not smugly, that this was all in a days' work back then...
Westward Timetable Superiority is in effect. Train Order Number is followed by address, station call letters (and initial de-coding of call letters) for station issued, followed by "Complete" time:
