Re: [CBQ] Timetables & rules

["qutlx1@aol.com [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

Public timetables give insight into passenger operations by run. Employee timetables

Are wealth of info. Providing much detail about length of sidings,yards,fuel and water info.,open offices,etc,etc. a close reading of special instructions in the back of ETTs and footnotes at the bottom of each page are a wealth of details.

A copy of the work agreement schedules(what I think you're referring to as rule books by craft) often give details of runs on line segments,yard assignments,etc. the problem with these is they are listed by rule(agreement) numbers which are a bit confusing.

A series of ETTs for a division provide excellent insight into how runs,services,etc changed over the decades

I have been doing a little reading on the history of signals which
prompted my question on CB&Q signals. The discussion has brought up
other questions that may be answered by timetables and rule books. I
see there are two timetables, general and employee, plus other rule
books for engineers, conductors, maintenance, etc all available for
decent prices on eBay. What set of books, timetables, etc would give a
good picture of operations in the late 40s, early 50s timeframe? I am
mostly interested in the branchline from Alexandra, MO west.
