Description
The Erie Railroad was a major northeast US carrier, serving the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. From its founding in 1833, it operated independently until 1960 and was a very highly profitable line for many years. Like other eastern carriers, however, the Erie began a downturn after World War II, and in 1960 it merged with the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad (which served New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey) to form the Erie Lackawanna (EL). The Erie Lackawanna continued to have difficulties and became a part of Conrail in 1976. Surviving lines are now operated primarily by CSX and Norfolk Southern.
For auction is a post-merger passenger train timetable for the EL, dated April 30, 1967. It contains schdules for all passenger trains operated by the EL; schedules are by train number, with arrival/departure times for stations served. The Erie operated a number of famous "Named" trains, to include the New York Mail, the Phoebie Snow, the Lake Cities, and the Owl; schedules for these trains include equipment manifests. There are schedules for local trains; rates for coach and pullman services; and names of passenger ticket agents.
There is a map showing the EL route system, with major connecting lines. There is an inset map of downtown New York City, noting the station location used.
This timetable measures appx 9x4 inches and opens to appx 20x9 inches. It is unused and in excellent condition, with no rips, tears, spills, smears, writing or markings
A neat collectible for any Erie, Lackawanna, or Erie Lackawanna railfan.
