If #1214A and following is true, then #2299 doesn't apply to
Drake. Strictly US&S on Drake -- no nachod.
There was a trolley wire contact for the grade crossing at
the school south of Santa Barbara on Drake which was also time
delayed. Forced a complete stop and wait for the Interurban
to check for school children.
NO books, Fred -- that's your department!
