About the Museum
The Museum of Railway Timetables is a virtual exhibit of Amtrak® passenger rail service through schedules and timetables issued since service began on May 1, 1971.
Due to the effort involved in capturing digital images of printed material, new exhibits are made available as time permits. We maintain a large private collection of timetable materials. Timetables are presented in their original format, often highlighting imperfections in printing of original copies. If pages appear crooked, this is simply an artifact of the original print. We have attempted to compensate for this in the interest of readability, but it is not always possible.
Note that all timetables from Fall 2003 to present were archived directly from source files provided by the printing press. We plan to adjust their format to be more consistent with earlier exhibits.
