OK, The following three photos dealing with hooping up orders are now
jpg and not TIF which is what I usually use so I didn't realize the scanner
was not set for jpg.

All are at TBS ( Temporary Block Station ) Lyons, PA on July 2, 1998, and
are associated with my earlier Email on doing photography that day, and
the almost extinct process of hooping up orders.

1st photo was used on the front of Vol 29, Issue 1, of Dots&Dashes, the
official magazine of the Morse Telegraph Club, Inc in 2002. Engineer
Trainee Jeff Mockler is believed to be the recipient of the clearance Form D,
on train PIOI

2nd photo show a conductor leaning way out of the cab window in order to
get his Clearance Form D via the old fashion order hoop.

3rd photo is a photo of yours truly, during my first and last hooping up of
orders.
