    How to read a Bradshaw?

    Attached is the full page of the 1932 Bradshaw and a highlighted extract from that page with the segment I'm most interested in. Here are some of the things I cannot figure out: - What is the three digit number after the name of the station, such as 421, 418, etc. Is that the train number...

    How to read a Bradshaw?

    As part of some research I'm doing I had the railway museum copy certain pages of Bradshaw's Continental Guide for 1933. They took photos of the applicable pages and sent them to me. Exactly what I needed, BUT. But, I'm having a hard time deciphering them. There are multiple time columns and...

    Bradshaw Continental Railway Guides 1930s

    Greetings: I stumbled across this forum after doing numerous (futile) web searches for some information I have been after. I thought perhaps somebody here might be able to point me in the right direction. I am trying to find the listings in the Bradshaws circa 1932-1935 for the schedule...
