    Just for fun, here is an example from my collection:

    [​IMG]

    An Atlantic Coast Line Railroad train order copied at Willacoochee, Georgia. The station name is is fascinating. Wish I knew it's origins.

    :D

    I bought an old, blue ACL Form 19 (like your picture) that had my birthdate as the date!

    Polkton... at first I was thinking Parkton, but that was actually on the ACL line....

    Map says: Polkton is about 20 miles east of Charlotte... obviously not a major metropolitan community. :D

    Harold-

    Probably just a train order office, located at a siding in a small community. May have been an agency at one time.

    :D

    I actually have an ACL order from Parkton. Can scan, and post if interested.
