They always threw a paper off for the block operator!! 

See the guy in the doorway at the rear of the baggage car  in the photo at the left?  He’s about to throw Ed Sorensen a Newsday. 

 The above shot shows the paper rolled up on the platform right after it was tossed off for him.  Info: Dave Keller
