Getting Real Column - 3
only one or two additional people, so mine is not an unusual situa-
tion. And two, my layout mostly models an SP branch line, so I only
have one station on my main line. Obviously, precision timing of
trains at that single station is not exactly vital.
Instead, I discuss realistic timetable appearance, and I will empha-
size the various kinds of material that one might wish to include,
other than times themselves. I begin with prototype sources.
A starting point

starting with a
real employee
timetable of the
railroad and era
you are modeling
or, if you are free-
lancing, a similar

cover of the SP
Coast Division
Timetable 164
contains this
detailed divi-
sion map,
though it has
substantially
more detail
than you may
need. I only
used part of
this map.
