Description

The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad (CBQ), also known as the Burlington Route, was a major US railroad, serving 12 states in the Mid-west and Southwest (Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Dakota, Texas, Wisconsin, Wyoming). In 1970 it merged with the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern, and the Spokane, Portland, & Seattle railroads to form Burlington Northern (BN). After subsequent mergers/acquisitions, to include the Santa Fe, the original Burlington Route trackage is now operated primarily as the BNSF Railroad.

For auction is "Employee Timetable #18" from the BN for the Billings Region; it is dated October 31, 1976. The timetable lists all stations and scheduled trains for the Montana Division (all 12 Sub-Divisions); the Yellowstone Division (all 13 Sub-Divisions); and the Rocky Mountain Division (all 19 Sub-Divisions). Also listed are industrial tracks and other tracks not shown as stations in the timetable and scheduled freight trains. Please note that Mountain Standard Time is shown in black, and both Central Standard Time and Pacific Standard Time are in red. There is also a speed table and speeds for performing switching. 
The timetable measures appx 9 3/4 x 4 1/2 inches folded, 9 3/4 x 9 inches opened, contains 28 pages, and is printed on mid-weight paperstock. It is in very good condition, with no rips or tears, and the binding is secure with all pages firmly in place. 
A nice item for the Burlington railfan.
