I'm looking for some information for a book that I'm writing. I would like to know if anyone has employee timetables that cover the Westfield, NY and Falconer, NY interchanges with the Jamestown, Westfield, and Northwestern interurban railroad. The dates I particularly need for Westfield cover between 1904 and 1950, and for Falconer, I need between 1904 and 1910 or so.

This was an interurban that also ran freight, and at the early part of the years listed, used steam to interchange with the freight roads. Before too long, electric freight motors and occasional baggage trolley cars were used to bring in freight cars to Westfield.

The Falconer branch was never electrified, and always used steam.

Any and all inofrmation that you can provide would be excellent. Thanks in advance.
