SLOW ORDER REPORT

The file name is SLOW 1. The computer program keeps all slow orders on file and lists them in various formats. The data base consists of location, mile post, condition of track, reason for slow order, and allowable speed for Passenger and Freight Trains. Also recorded is travel time lost and estimated date of slow order release. The reports are generated to give management an idea about the condition of the railroad and priority of repair.
