A Unique Train Order - a photo on Flickriver

            There is really nothing special about this train order except that it is from the Chicago, Attica & Southern RR.  In my ridiculous collection of train orders from nearly every RR in the US and RR's in at least 15 countries, this is the only order I have from the CA&S.  This RR was abandoned and later dismantled around the start of WWII (early 1940's), so it has made it difficult for me to find anything on it.  

Here is the description:

Chicago, Attica & Southern Railroad
Form 19 Train Order Number 6
Dated June 12th, 1942
addressed to C&E No 72
At Attica, Indiana, reads as follows:

"No 72 Eng 269 meet No 71 Eng 320 at Barce instead of Goodland."

Supt inits:  Your guess is as good as mine.  lol

Made Complete at 1:01 pm by operator???

CA&S engines #269 and #320 were both 2-8-0's.  Also to note, the herald on the CA&S tenders was a pre-WWII swastika with the characters C-A-&-S in each of the 4 corners. 

The CA&S for most of the population nowadays is even hardly researchable.  The land has been reclaimed for so long that it gets more and more difficult to identify where it was when your actually at ground level.  Even the CA&S on google is disappearing.  

Since this order is from Attica, I am assuming it is from the terminal, like an agent of some sort.  I don't know if there was an interlocking tower in Attica and I'm not sure if the CA&S crossed the Wabash at grade or not.  It could have been written by the depot agent.
