This order is not to be used for holding a train while orders are given to other trains against it which are not at the same time given to it in duplicate. It must be respected by conductors and enginemen of trains thereby directed to be held as if addressed to them. Conductors, when informed of the order, must sign for it, and their signatures must be sent and "complete" obtained.
When a train has been so held it must not go until the order to hold is annulled, or an order is given in the form:
"—— may go."
This must be addressed to the person or persons to whom the order to hold was addressed, and must be delivered in the same manner.
The rules and explanations under this form are so complete that comment as to the design and significance of the order is unnecessary. In view of much former practice, too much importance cannot be attached to the provision relating to what the holding order shall not be used for.
