Trains have always appealed to me, but I was born toward the end of the heyday of passenger trains. Sometimes, I've enjoyed poring over old timetables trying to picture what travel was like before the age of the automobile.
I've enjoyed history enough to earn a Masters Degree in History. When studying history, I've always found the most pleasure in looking at the actual documents instead of some other historian's interpretation of the events.
Over the years, I've acquired many old passenger rail timetables. Rather than simply hording them myself, I'd rather share their contents with anyone wishing to view them on the web.
As I begin this project, I'll focus on a few Kansas counties that have a special interest to me. As my time permits, I may continue to add counties.
