Context

Country: Canada
State/Province: Ontario
Period: Sunday, April 2nd, 1933 +
Canada: Documents operations at CNR's Ottawa Terminal during specific period.
Function: TO INFORM EMPLOYEES OF TRAIN SCHEDULE & RAILWAY OPERATIONS.
Technical: Employee timetables provide detailed operating instructions to employees; descriptions of operating conditions along specific lines; and a listing of all scheduled trains (both freight, mixed and passenger). As such, they offer valuable insight into the intricacies of railway operations on a specific division or sub-division of a railway. Because employees were required to destroy outdated copies, employee timetables are relatively rare. [Ref. 1]
Area Notes: Unknown
