As long as I introduced the first official Montclair Boonton Line Schedule, here is what is truly the first schedule to use the Montclair Connection. This schedule was in effect for one week only while the final preperations were being made for the full service to begin the following week.
Apparently NJ Transit went to no major expense to print this schedule.
Also, it should be noted that this schedule is really only a compilation of the previous schedules on both lines.
While not extremely old, these two schedules include some recent firsts of service.

Here are some NJ Transit Employee Schedules from the mid 1980’s. Notice that the Newark Division Schedule did not list the NE Corridor Line trains that ran to Jersey Avenue or Trenton. Only the ones that ran via the North Jersey Coast Line were shown.
They called this a “Condensed Through Train” schedule. This is true in that it only shows the major stops on routes headed out west, but it also has a complete timetable going along the Jersey Shore.
Someone pointed out to me that the New Haven schedules were not on Mediafire. I looked it up and sure enough, they had vanished from there. I corrected the links in the original post, and added them into the master list at the top of the page.
Thank you Brian.
White these aren’t extremely old themselves, since the Southern Pacific is not an entity anymore, I figures these would be appropriate for this site.

I recently posted some schedules from 1999. While I try to post things that are “old,” I have no set criteria for what constitutes old. I probably will not post much from the 90’s and the new millennium, as they are still somewhat recent, but every rule has its exceptions. In this case, I happened to have this set out of the box and decided to scan them for my archives, so it was easy to just post them.
Well, I might as well complete the set and post the New Haven Schedules as well. The New Haven Schedules are split into three folders, one for each direction during the week, and one for the weekends.
Of course, the New Cannon, Danbury, and Waterbury Branches are included in here as well.

Let’s continue the set I started yesterday. Here are the Hudson Line schedules from the same set. Once again, split into weekdays and Weekends. Also, MNRR shows Amtrak trains in its schedules.

Also, I have the New Haven schedules. I plan on doing them next.
While I realise 1999 isn’t all that old, I thought these Harlem Line schedules from Metro North would make a nice addition.

As you can see, Metro North splits its employee schedules up into Weekdays and Weekends.
