Picked up a timetable for the LV Cortland Branch from 1942... Never seen branchline timetables, only the "system" timetable. Was this timetable unique for the Cortland Branch? Did other branches have their own timetables?

I've seen other LV system timetables state something along the lines of "See Cortland Branch Timetable for Cortland Branch Trains." I'm no expert on LV Public Timetables, but as near as I can tell, that was the only branch they did that for. I'm guessing that after they scrapped a good deal of the former Elmira, Cortland and Northern, they wanted to discourage the public from riding these mixed trains.
