Rupert:

If other sources do not work out, you might contact Alison Hinderliter at the Newberry Library to see if she will copy these for you.

The Newberry has copies of all 5 Chicago and Aurora ETT's issued in 1914.  #3 was issued on 1/4/14 and #7 was issued on 12/20/14.  All of them include the schedule of all suburban trains.

Copies from the Newberry are not cheap, but should be available if you ask.  The call number for the above timetables is CB&Q 32.93, Employee Timetables, Box #146.  Alison's email address is hinderlitera@newberry.org.  Be sure to mention that you are with BRHS and that the information is for a BRHS article.  It may take her a few days to respond.

I don't remember the year that I met you at the Newberry, and if they had computerized their records by then.  If so, their computer will remember you, along with all of the references that you have called to review.

Subject: [CBQ] Chicago suburban services

 

I’m researching Burlington suburban services out of Chicago in about 1914 for a BRHS article. Would anyone have a suburban timetable for about that period. If so, I would be grateful if you would contact me off list. (Hit Reply to Sender at the bottom of this e-mail) Also what sort of power would have been used in that era?

Thanks
