I have just put up the scanned pages of the C.C.C. & St. L. 1895 Passenger Timetable owned by Lawrence Baggerly. For the Big Four fan, there is a wealth of information in these pages ranging from the mileage of the various lines and branches to a population code giving the size of cities and towns. Not to be left out are the station names and agents by divisions, the junction points and connecting lines, the directory of Executive, Transportation, Passenger and Freight Departments, Stop-Over Privileges, maps, and, of course, the timetable schedule itself You think that we have good transportation today? Look at what we had in 1895 and that doesn't even count the Traction Lines that were springing up and would soon provide hourly service throughout Central Indiana. For your browsing pleasure, here is the direct link. http://madisonrails.railfan.net/1895Psgr.html
Roger, that's great. It's too bad the automobile and national highway system took over from this form of transportation. It's hard to believe how many miles of track were torn out or paved over on city streets, only now to be re-planned or re-layed.
