As seen by my previous posts, I'm particularly interested in paper items so I present for your consideration a New York Central & Hudson River passenger timetable dated 1893. Of course, this was well before electrification, GCT and the Hudsons and other such things so closely associated with the NYC. In fact, 4-4-0 999 was built at the West Albany Shops during the same year this timetable was issued so the 999 and its contemporaries were the latest and greatest in passenger power at the time.
The drawing of the old Grand Central Station on the cover is quite spectacular.
When you think about the incredible age of some of these items, it's quite thrilling and humbling to have the opportunity to be their current caretaker and hold them with your own hands.
