> "The Railroad Trainman," vol. 44, 1927, page 350 but exact date of issue unavailable, has an article titled the "Lackawanna & Western Railroad Instructions for The Running Of Trains, Etc, To Go Into Effect On Tuesday, June 1, 1852." (Note that the proper name of the railroad at that time was "Lackawanna & Western.")

The Erie, of course, was the first to get movement by Train orders, but the written account of one man involved says that the second portion of railroad to implement that method of operation was the Lackawanna east of Scranton.
