Along the Union Pacific Strategic Middle
Boat, uniting the East with the Pacific
Coast, stretches a vast network of telephone
and telegraph wires. Over these wires go
orders controlling movement of all trains.
To insure efficient and safe operation,
extreme care must be taken in transmit
ting. For example, the Union Pacific "book
of rules" gives the following instructions
for the transmittal of train orders by tele
phone . . . "time will be spelled and then
pronounced, thus: t-w-o t-e-n 2:10 pm."
