Freight train procedures
Here I used the information from the prototype documents on
this subject [8-9], but collected and summarized the informa-
tion, rather than scanning the typewritten pages of the proto-
type document. I then made a small table to encompass the
schedules of the various trains, to accompany their definitions
from the prototype Schedule. Again, this material was set in
Adobe Caslon Semibold, 10/11.
I included on these pages some items which did not fit elsewhere,
much as the prototype document did, such as a safety slogan,
a Lompoc Branch timetable [11] and a list of watch inspectors.
Again, this is typographic scenery but is taken directly from the
19. My interim map for the layout town of Shumala.
Not all the graphic features of this way of representing
the town are entirely satisfactory, so this may change
– an easy process with a digital map. The intent here
was to combine and extend the styles of [16] and [18]
to create this graphic, but of course without SPINS
numbers for track and switches. Only a couple of
roads are shown in this version. The depot’s bill box
location is identified, as in [18].
