Watch ebay.  I've purchased several different ones (Several from the 50's) over the past few years.

        All,
        How can I get a copy of or buy a Radford Division Employee Timetable. Early 50's woud be great 1954 would be perfect. I am interested in the Walton to Roanoke area. The Radford Division Timetable would be the one to have, right? 

        The Timetable would have?
        signal locations
        track charts
        track speeds
        and all scheduled trains?

        Thanks in advance,
        John Rhodes

          Frank,

          I presume that you are referring to the Shenandoah
          Division timetable. Do you want this particular
          issue? We have scads of employee timetables 
          dating from just after the turn of the Twentieth
          Century. While there are some gaps, we certainly have
          the majority of those issued since then. Most 
          are by division, but some early ones are combined for
          the system. The storage boxes of employee timetables
          take up most of two shelves, each shelf being 6 - 8
          feet long.

          Let me know what you want, and I'll check with
          President Gillum about any cost to you. If you aren't
          in a hurry for the copies, I could make 
          some the next time that I go to the archives. The old
          timetables would be copied onto legal size sheets.

          Good morning, Gordon:

          Thanks for letting me know about the employee
          timeable . It's good to know that so many of them
          exist in the archives.

          I've held off buying the "partner's desk" plan so I
          could buy a timetable copy at the same time. 
          Depending on cost, I might be interested in a set of
          Shenandoah Division employee timetables about ten
          years apart from as early as is available until 1957
          or so.

          In doing so, if it is possible to determine the date
          that Boyce was closed as an agency, that would
          likewise be nice to know. In any event, thanks for
          your assistance!

          Happy holidays to you and Jim,
