Yard Phone |

A yardphone typically used by railroad workers in the train yards. "The crank phones did not have a plug box; there was only a 'message line' available for the train crews (conductors) to use. They would crank a ring code to reach the desired or nearest station operator who in turn would relay a message to the dispatcher and his reply back to the train conductor. Even train orders were copied and relayed this way! It was an involved process!" -Stewart Shannon, a retired communications man. |
