How long was the whistle stop, cause the GN must've had to shut down all activity in town for this with all the people right there on the RoW!!
That I haven't found. The Truman library doesn't give that info.
Be nice to find some train orders from that day, and maybe some special instruction flimsies, as to the actual train stoppage and all.
Wenatchee trainorders seem to be scarce. I've got 100s from Ephrata though!
Nice!
