Answer 1

In order to avoid delay to live-stock at both local and through junctions, the forwarding station should advice the next junction station either on control phone, if on. a controlled section, or by a telegram if on a non-controlled section, as to the date and train by which vehicles/wagons containing live-stock will arrive at the station. Such advices should be repeated by the junction Station Master en route to the Station Master of the next junction so that the yard staff may have sufficient advance notice for arranging onward dispatch of vehicles/wagons by the first connecting train.
