  • Transportation Timetables, 1880-2007
    MSS #015, page 1 Transportation Timetables, 1880-2007 MSS: # 016 Processed by: Jason Freitas, December 2014 Volume: 10 boxes Abstract: Timetables for railroads, bus companies, airlines, steamship, and boat transportation companies comprise this collection. The collection was accumulated over the course of about fifty years by various individuals. Though the bulk of items date from the 1940’s to the 1960’s, earlier and later periods are also well- represented. The majority of the collection consists of both employee and public timetables from railroads of New England, with other items coming from New York and Canadian railroads, a wide variety of smaller New England railroads, bus and steamship companies, and railway companies that preceded the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. Collection Creator: Beverly Historical Society, Walker Transportation Collection Provenance: This collection has been amassed through various donors since 1969. Conservation/Processor's Note: The majority of items consist of saddle-stitched booklets and folded pamphlets. Modern items are more likely to be plastic-coated or synthetic paper and in good condition. Items older than the 1960’s are generally more fragile and should be handled with care. Four different box shapes are used to accommodate the variety of shapes and sizes: standard letter-size boxes for booklets and fragile pamphlets, flip-top pamphlet boxes for sturdier pamphlets, flip-top photo boxes for pocket pamphlets under seven inches, and custom-size boxes for unique items. “Folders” in the pamphlet and photo boxes are not actually folders, but dividers that sit in front of the items they describe. Copyright: Request for permission to publish material from the collection must be submitted in writing to the Curator of Collections in the Cabot House of the Beverly Historical Society & Museum.

This is the carefully annotated study of a good many of the important large railroads of the United States complete within their own files, these to be found within the official state of incorporation. Here will be included page references to the frequently huge number of small short-line roads that usually wound up by being “taken in” to the larger and expending Class II and I roads. Some of these files, such as the New York Central or the Pennsylvania Railroad are very big themselves. Michigan, Wisconsin, Oregon, and Washington are large because the many lumber railroads have been extensively studied out.
