Thanks for the response. Is it possible to get a scan of weekday westward suburban trains from the 1911 timetable, please? And the front cover if possible?
My article is about a fire which occurred on an evening suburban service from CUS in November 1914, just after California Avenue, in which two passengers died and
36 others were injured. The fire, in a baggage/smoker, was caused by a package of movie films on its way to a suburban cinema. It would seem that it was placed on the floor during the journey and a lighted cigarette was dropped onto it. Although I have various
reports and newspaper clippings about it, I would like to fill in details such as the length of the journey, type of locomotive on the front, etc.
A Collector’s Corner sounds like a good idea. I have been collecting scans from eBay of timetable covers for the Flickr collection in case I needed them for an article.
I’ve been invited by the NZ Railway & Locomotive Historical Society to give a presentation at one of their meetings and I rashly agreed, so I have been busy putting together a PowerPoint presentation. I’ll cover the formation of the CB&Q in Illinois with just
a brief history of expansion, plus what made the Burlington different from all the others. Things such as Zephyrs, dome cars, motor cars, center cab diesels and its waycars. Fortunately, I’ve plenty of photos including the Flickr collection so there is no
shortage of material.
Anyway, thanks again for your help.
Regards
Rupert

I do not have a 1914 Sub TT but do have a 5/28/1911, 10/31/1926, 4/19/1934
See Attached for unupdated list of collection. I Need to update it and have just won a large order of Publics now awaiting shipment.
What do you think of a Collectors Corner using the lists attached. I would only do one part of the list.
ie. Employee Timetables have been covered by PK Hannah's Compendium. My lists would be used
Public Timetables The red covers. Part 2 would be The modern Photo Print TT from May-Oct 1966-Jan 18 1970 With the photos. Part 3 would be Suburban TT Part 4 Memo TT
10/28/66-1/18/70
Just got home from Florida and a Family Reunion where I picked up some neat Family items for my wife's side. Her grandfather worked in the Aurora Shops and a Great Uncle
was an engineer.
Let me know and I can get scans for you and Dave both.
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
