A clearance was required for trains departing North Little Rock yard, but note that there were no orders, and the only order handed up at HH Tower (the Rock Island crossing, located just south of Little Rock Union Depot) was an order restricting speed. On this section of the railroad, and the next section which was full CTC, specific running orders were apparently not necessary. From Malvern on south, movement was by timetable and train order authority, so more traditional operating orders were necessary.
