Scope and Contents

The timetables in this collection were printed by railroads for the specific use of their employees rather than for customers or other members of the public. In addition to the more conventional timetable information such as scheduled departure and arrival times, they also contain logistical information specific to railroad operations. This information may include distances between stations, train car capacity, hours of operation for station offices, station numbers, and track and siding capacities.
