GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Numerous "operating" and "platform" stops will be made during
the Western trip. During these stops, if the President appears
on the rear platform, correspondents, newsreel and still photo-
graphers will leave their cars and walk back to cover the pro-
ceedings. For the purpose of smooth and orderly train operating
procedure an alert signal will be sounded over the train public
address system immediately after the President concludes his
remarks. This signal will be in the form of a RISING and FALLING
sound. This sound will signal the end of the proceedings, the
President's participation will have ended and NO MORE PICTURES
WILL BE permitted. The PRESS will get aboard at the opening pro-
vided at head end of NUMBER THREE car.
Please do not 80 to the rear of the train during "platform" or
"operating" stops unless your duties require you to be there. To
do so will interfere with the citizens seeing and hearing the
President, obstruct the press and picture people, and handicap
the police and secret service unnecessarily.
It is never advisable to leave the immediate platform adjacent
to the car to which you are assigned or working in. If it is
necessary for you to leave the train be sure to find a local
police or railroad police officer, show him your identification
and be sure he understands you are to come back the same way.
Otherwise you may be cut off in the crowd and left behind.
The work of icing, watering and servicing the train begins
immediately upon arriving at an operating stop. These crews work
at top speed and on a time limit. Please keep out of their way.
Be sure that every piece of your luggage is tagged with your
name and the Pullman space assigned to you. It is advisable to
take an overnight bag to be used for one-night off-the-train
stops and leave your heavier baggage on the train. A laundry
bag should also be included.
When you leave the train for overnight stops be sure to
carry with you and hold on to important papers, envelopes, brief
cases, etc., that you may need during the next few hours. Your
overnight baggage and working equipment will follow you as soon
as possible. However, the train is frequently switched to a
distant yard for the necessary servicing and supply and may be
inaccessible for some time except for emergency communications.
Therefore, try to anticipate and carry with you anything you
may need at off-train headquarters.
You will be advised on the trip west where and when you may
obtain laundry service. Thus, the reason for a laundry bag
so that you will be ready when "laundry day" arrives.
All meals and refreshments are to be paid for at time of
service. Gratuities for Pullman porters will be collected at
the end of the trip, but the personnel in the dining cars
will change as we change from one railroad to another and
these waiters should be taken care of at time of service.
