Consolidated Rail Corporation Train Order No. 201 at Wayne Junction

I don't know squat about train orders or the inner workings of any railroad junction control tower but here's one for Wayne Junction from March 13, 1982. It's the earliest one in a batch of 19 (I believe) from that same tower from the early to mid 1980s. Track conditions for eastbound trains, presumably in the vicinity of Wayne Junction, were slowed due to poor track conditions. Exciting, eh? I think it is. Especially since the tower is gone as is much of the magnanimity of the past in that area around Wayne Road and Michigan Avenue which once sported the Wayne depot, a hotel and the Harroun Motor Car Company among its business attractions.
