It was the first time for me to operate with Time Table and Train Order (= TT&TO). And I can tell you: a new and exciting experience after having worked with Track Warrant Control (= TWC).

Why did americaN choose TT&TO? Because in 1956, there was no TWC, because radio control was technically not available at every place.

My facit after this meeting: to use TT&TO, I had to learn some basics, and after that, this is fun for the dispacher and the crew. And it is the way how the prototype operated.
