Description: S. l. s. n. 1950. Two timetables, 1950 and 1952; double-parallel fold, 11 x 4 1/4 folded; pp. 3-18 and 3-14 respectively; beige card stock wraps, printed and ruled in black; illustrated with maps and tables; one with age-toning and a few faint spots to margins; a bit of wear and creasing to edges; overall in very good condition. The Texas and New Orleans Railroad Company was chartered under the name of the Sabine and Galveston Bay Railroad and Lumber Company in 1856, construction began in 1857, its name was changed to the Texas and New Orleans Railroad Company in 1859, and a 110-mile line was open by 1862, connecting Houston and Orange. It would become a part of a major transcontinental route in 1881, after being bought by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. The two current timetables, "for the government and information of employes only," showed not only the train schedules, but also special instructions to employes, company surgeons, ratings of engines, speed tables, and maps of the divisions. Very good .
