I was wondering that when operating timetables become outdated by new issues for employees, why railroads which have company stores do not offer them for sale as, say, the Wheeling and Lake Erie does, and to a limited extent, Union Pacific does in its steam program store? These could generate additional income for the railroads,especially when purchased by railfans,and/or historians. That is how I got my Chessie System timetables when they were then current, purchasing them directly from the railroad. In addition to additional income, this could be a good public relations tool as well. While the railroads have been thriving of late, they could use the best public relations they can get. The better the goodwill between railroad and the public, the better it is for everyone concern and I thought this would be one good way to accomplish this.
