I picked this up from Ebay recently and want to share the information with this group. It's a huge sheet but I shot a picture with a 12 MP Canon G9 and cropped it down to about 4.5 Meg (which leaves it still readable when you 'zoom in' while viewing it). I have somewhat larger 'right side' and 'left side' shots, each of which is about 6.5 Meg and larger than what I can upload to where I'm linking it. For anyone interested, here's a link to the image I could upload:

Tons of historical information here, trains, engine & crew assignements, times, notes, etc. If anyone has any questions about this, let me know.
Regards,
Michael

Nice job on the pic-post Mike, We have several more from that E-Bay sale.
JR is working on a way to Scan & Post ours and maybe several more
from the late 1950's. Thanks again.

I really enjoy reading these train sheets.
So much information to absorb.
This particular train sheet not only gives us the P&WV symbols,
but the N&W AJ symbols, a great way to associate both.
Also, can you visualize the NKP eastbound with 4 geeps?
113 loads, 11 empties totaling 12,300 ton.
Imagine being between Hickory and Avella and listening to him climb the grade?
Then, a reduction at Rook showing 97 loads leaving Rook.
That climb to Longview must of been quite interesting.
Following the train sheet East of Rook, those NKP units left those 97 loads
at Monessen and went to Connellsville, light.
Probably a Monessen ore train...
WOW, what I'd give to step back into a time machine...

I have been studing the train dispatchers sheet.I have a couple of questions. The train from Clairton had 4/104 cars to Rook. I was wondering where the cars went?. I could not find it on the sheet. Maybe the next day they went out? "NKP "was this abbrevation used to show that the train came from or went to the Nickle plate. The other question is does any know if the yard train from Rook did the switching of the local industries in the West end or was this just a transfer to the P&LE?
I am trying to set my next operationg session to the train sheet, with modifaction since I don't have all the towns.
Thanks again for posting the sheet.
