Hank-

I'm not 100% sure why they say "no signal." As Swanton was the western end of their line, I'd bet there was simply no train order signal present. They'd be using the same form all across the system. So this was the simple way to make it legal for use at Swanton. Being the initial station, Number 74 was cleared, with one order, and departed at their scheduled time.

Hmmmm. Something went wrong. Part of what I typed, doesn't seem to be there. mg:

This is not an order. It's a actually clearance card. To which any and all appropriate orders, for that train, would be attached. Clearance cards, depending upon company, varied in what was stated on front.

Am still trying to figure out what happened to that missing part of what I'd originally typed. Must have been done with invisible text?

Vermont Northern Railway- Morrisville, Vermont. After the St.Johnsbury & Lamoille County RR ceased operating, Morrison-Knudsen was the contract operator for just over a year. Then the Lamoille Valley was formed. This is a universal M-K company form. They used it for all their rail operations:

This wraps it up for US small companies. There were several Canadian operations. Including branches of CN, CP, GT(CN), and even the Napierville Junction RY. I'll pursue those next in this thread. Later on, will tie things up, with the Central Vermont, and the D&H RR.
