Excursions and passenger specials

摘要

A train order, folded as crisply as if it were just snagged from a hoop, fluttered to the floor when I opened a folio that had been languishing in my collection so long it had been nearly forgotten. The order demanded attention because it was green onionskin. The other orders a friend had stuffed in the folder to give me were buff-colored, typical of the road from which they were collected. I caught my breath when I unfolded Western Maryland order No. 29 dated Feb. 5, 1972, and read its body: Eng 302 run Psgr Extra Highfield to Security.
