Septa Employee Schedules (1987-04-05)

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

Here are some unique train schedules from the past.

SEPTA issued one and only one set of actual employee schedules.  This set was issued when the center city commuter tunnel was first opened.  Unfortunately, some services, such as West Chester and Ivy Ridge via Cynwyd had already ceased.  It should be noted, however, that there was a lot more Cynwyd service than there is today.  Also, notice how the Trenton service reflects some of the service that still exists today.

(1987-04-05) Septa Folder 1 - West Trenton to Elwyn
(1987-04-05) Septa Folder 2 - Warminster to Marcus Hook
(1987-04-05) Septa Folder 3 - Main Line Glenside to Airport Southbound
(1987-04-05) Septa Folder 4 - Airport and Main Line to Glenside Northbound
(1987-04-05) Septa Folder 5 - Doylestown to Downingtown (Thorn)
(1987-04-05) Septa Folder 6 - Norristown to Cynwyd
(1987-04-05) Septa Folder 7 - Chestnut Hill East to Trenton
(1987-04-05) Septa Folder 8 - Fox Chase to Chestnut Hill West

When will the next batch of schedules be released?

Ok everyone, I know it’s been a while since I made a post. I’m currently working on a set of Septa schedules from the 1980’s. I am waiting until I have the entire set done before I post them.

With any luck, they will be done within another month.
