Bangor & Portland Branch Question

Does anyone know for sure how many trains a day ran on the B&P? I'm researching the subject and would welcome any info.

Any particular time frame you are interested in?

I think there is some info from the 1950's in the Taber book

B&P

I'm researching operations from 1950's-1960's. Thanks, I'll have to check that out.

EMPLOYEE TIMETABLES....THEY MAY BE OF HELP. BUT SINCE IT WAS FREIGHT ONLY AFTER THE LATE 30S THERE WERE "MERRY-GO-ROUNDS'' AND "DRILLS" AS THE DL&W CALLED THEM WITH NO SECOND OR THIRD CLASS SCHEDULES THEREFORE NO TIMETABLE AUTHORITY. NEXT BEST IS TO FIND ROSTERS, BULLITEN ORDERS, 'OS' AND DISPATCHER SHEETS. DEPENDING ON DEPTH OF INTEREST, YOU MIGHT FIND SOME AT PA. STATE TRANS. MUSEUM IN STRASBURG OR THROUGH NRHS CHAPTERS IN ALLENTOWN OR SCRANTON AREAS.
