The Grand Rapids, Grand Haven, & Muskegon Railway Company
1907 Time Table for a railway that affected many small communities along this line in the early 1900s. They lasted about 30 years.
Not sure what No. 24 means.
I'm wondering if the 24 is for the edition number of that particular line. It say to destroy all previous tables.
Number "24" is the issue of the timetable. It would be the current issue. Timetables, whether employee or public, would be issued every 6 months or so. This one replaced #23. This #24 would eventually be replaced by #25
Thank you both for commenting. I had been wondering if it had to do, also, with previous tables.
Some railroads can get pretty confusing. When the Erie merged with the Lackawanna, the first EL employee timetable was #61 (The last Erie was #60) A couple years later after the EL was in full swing they released EL Employee timetable #1. Thus EL #1 is 2 years newer than the actual first one, #61.
pajrr, that's rather amusing. Thank you.
