Untitled Rail Schedule Fragments From Damaged Text
Fragmentary railroad time card text lists various station codes and times. It references Beaton Harbor Dover Louisville Terre Haute St Louis Champaign and other places with multiple arrival and departure times, but the data is garbled and partial. The readable items show times like 41 am 99:48, 4:46 pm, 21:58, 10:38, 5:00 pm, and notes indicating dates or indicators of schedules. The fragment implies a timetable record with numerous inconsistent figures and missing context.
