Below are a collection of timetables, track charts, and other historic documents from the greater Cincinnati area dating prior to 1985.  All are in Adobe Acrobat PDF format.  If you do not have Acrobat on your computer, you may obtain the reader free of charge by clicking on this button. 

Your help is needed in the development of this section.  I am primarily seeking timetables, track charts, operating plans, management reports, etc.  Other documents are certainly welcome if they possess historical significance.  If you have some documents you would like to share, please scan them into PDF format at Grayscale setting to keep the file size low.  Please contact me before sending by clicking on the contact button in the navigation bar below.  Thanks!
