Beschreibung

Single sheet, 8.5 x 11", printed on one side. Printed on very cheap stock, now quite fragile and edge chipped, though not affecting the text. ______ This schedule shows that the extension ran the 24 miles through Pawnee County from Larned to Sage to Burdett. ______ We can find no evidence that the town of Sage actually ever existed. ______ In any case the train made the run back and forth once a day. ______ Such an abbreviated schedule was presumably well known to everyone along the line. ______ Given that, we assume the production of this hard copy timetable must have been required by the Kansas Railroad Commission and received very limited distribution. ______ The Chicago, Kansas & Western Railroad seems to have specialized in building short routes to under served towns in Kansas.______ Those routes were not directly connected to each other but rather leased to either the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe or the Missouri Pacific who were in fierce competition with each other. ______ In 1901 the CK&W was sold to the ATSF.
