[CBQ] RE: West Aurora depot/frt house & early TT's

[Gerald & Virginia Edgar <vje68@hotmail.com>]

   NIFA = Northern Illinois Fair Association?    As I recall Leo or another 
poster yrs ago mentioned the Q brought PRR horse cars to the Fairgrounds for 
racing. (Walthers once had a metal HO model of same)  As for old timetables, I 
have full TT's back to 1878 and would guess there are some earlier (of course 
not nearly as many pages as later editions; indeed prior to 1890 they were a 
large sheet folded accordion styple into TT size).  Newspaper ads were indeed 
used in the very early days (this Annual Passes sometimes known as 'Editorial' 
passes were given to newspapermen.  I have an ETT from 1868 - BIG difference as 
to names of "suburbs" coming our from the original Chicago station.
