Timetables and Maps – a free online resource
Posted by cregil on Tuesday, May 27, 2008 10:29 AM

 

These are not simply the time table covers, but the full text of old time tables to view—many from the 19th Century.  US and Canadian Railroads, plus railroad maps from pre-Civil War to early 20th Century.  Go to:

 

David Rumsey Map Collection

 

For example, an 1878 Texas & Pacific timetable: http://www.davidrumsey.com/detail?id=1-1-22068-760040&name=Texas+&+Pacific+Railway.

I saw that same timetable on e-Bay for $2.00 but was changing banks so could not bid and missed procuring it.  Yet, and meanwhile, I am looking for an out-of-print book on the history of Texas & Pacific and saw it listed at one overseas dealer for $450.00.  Go figure.

Enjoy!

Signature line? Hmm... must think of something appropriate...
