That was one of the hardest parts of "converting" to the new "GCOR way" of doing things. Before, it was just timetable bulletins and superintendent notices. The lastest version was all that you had to review because all the information beforehand was to be rolled-up into the most current copy.

Now, you need to keep at least two separate 3-ring binders to put the timetable and special instructions PLUS all active System GOs in one and all the active GNs in the other. Lord help you if you run on trackage rights territory. You have to double up on the binders just so you have the other road's latest timetable and special instruction, plus ALL the active GOs, SI revisions, and superintendent notices . . . plus your change of clothes.

And they wonder why so many back injuries :-)
