Well, I know this schedule is relatively similar to one that I just posted, but it was handy to scan.  Here is another Union Pacific Wyoming Division Employee Schedule from the late 1960’s

Amazing, I posted two schedules in just over a week.

Here is another Employee Schedule from the Union Pacific, also known as the UP.  This schedule, while not as old as the one from last week, is still quite dated.  Here is the Wyoming Division.

Large File Sizes

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

I realize that some of my file sizes are extremely large.  While I do what I can to keep them as small as possible, it is extremely difficult to reduce them much without loosing quality.  I recently posted the Septa Employee Schedules from the 1980’s and attempted to reduce the file size my converting the scanned images to 150 dpi.  Needless to say, I was not happy with the results.  They are difficult on the eye to read.

While I realize that file size is a priority, I feel that good quality is more of a priority.  If you can’t read them, they are useless.  That said, all future schedules will be posted as 300 dpi images, unless they can be converted lower without sacrificing readability.  If any schedule will be an unusually large file size, I will break it down into sections.
