Does anyone have or know where I can get a freight schedule from 1950? A friend of mine has a need them for a TD3 simulation but can't seem to find one.

Offfically, all Pennsy freight services were operated as extra movements carrying no timetable authority. However, the freight schedules were usually listed in the employee timetables for the regions(s)/division(s) in question under "Arranged Freight Train Serice" not far behind the line descriptions and passenger schedules at the front of the booklet.

As a general rule, freights ran much closer to the posted schedules on the smaller divisions/regions, such as the Northern (former Williamsport and Buffalo Divisions). Second sections were rare except on the main lines in times of prosperity, and they were usually designated by letter (e. g: SW-6A & SW-6B), During the Vietnam buildup of 1964-1966, the PRR often operated its primary eastbound runs in multiple sections, but the empties usually went west as unsymbolled extras.

A good starting point would be Jerry Britton's "Keystone Crossings" web site, which has a huge store of PRR info; Here's a link:
