Rupert:
Following are the times of trains 2, 4, 8, and 74 in 1912 at the time of the
Western Springs accident. These are the 4 train numbers listed in the article
about the accident. They are taken from ETT #48 dated June 2, 1912, which was
in effect on July 14 of that year.
#74 is a freight train that was scheduled to leave Aurora at 3:50AM and arrive
at Clyde at 6:00AM. #4 is a daily passenger that leaves Aurora at 5:30 AM,
makes stops at Naperville, Lisle, and Downers Grove, passes Hinsdale at 6:11
AM, passes Riverside at 6:22 AM, arrives Chicago at 6:50 AM. #2 is a daily
passenger that leaves Aurora at 5:56 AM, passes Hinsdale at 6:25 AM, passes
Riverside at 6:33 AM, arrives Chicago at 7:00 AM. #8 is a daily fast mail that
leaves Aurora at 6:10 AM, passes Hinsdale at 6:34 AM, passes Riverside at 6:41
AM, arrives Chicago at 7:05 AM. There are no times shown for any of these
trains at Western Springs, or at any station between Hinsdale and Riverside.
I have times for other trains at this time of the morning, and other times of
the above trains at other stations, if you want them. I also have some other
information from the timetable that I will share in another email.
