1943 Public Passenger Timetable
It's 1943 and the pages of the timetable reflect the effort of the railroads in World War II. From the page, The Warpath of the Unied Nations and Just a Piece of Cloth to Summer Travel faces a CAUTION Signal, this book of systems time tables is loaded with war time cautions. These files are large 2 color graphics. Anything less and you would not be able to read them.
I have included only the actual time tables that apply to trains running through Madison County although there are others there as well. It is the Reference Marks and Index of Stations and all of the other information that make these pages worth the reading. It opens a window on a time of great effort on the part of the railroads as well as the country as a whole.
I want to thank John Reehling of the New York Central System Historical Society for lending me this time table to scan and put up for your enjoyment. And, with that, let us begin.
