SOP – Standard Operating Procedure, as far as I know.

I’m assuming TOs are train orders. What is an SOP?

TOs would have been SOP in that era, but more likely something like that would
be planned ahead of time and distributed by a bulletin when crews started their
shift - in the same way Ryan described.

I'm just throwing this out there and you guys can pick it apart. Departing
crews at crew change points could get info to stop the train at a certain time.
Or, the station operators would get a telegraph to pass orders to any trains
passing prior to the 'set time'. Train would stop and then proceed.
On the latter point, LOL

Wether it actually happened is a matter for the historical record, but it isn't
outside the realm of plausibility.
Every year on remembrance day we stop every movement for a minute at 1100. Now
if you want to be pedantic, the practicality of it means that not every single
movement stops, but the effort is made system wide.
The company even asked (in an official bulliten) that we do the same as a
tribute to Hunter Harrison. I'll leave it up to the list members imaginations
as to the response to that...
