Hi Kent,
For CPR traffic, check out the timetables at the CPHA webpage at
http://www.cptracks.ca/. Click on the documents library. You will have to ;
register, but it is free. There a many public timetables, including one for
1954 and another for 1956. There are also employee timetables, including a
Sept 25, 1955 table for the pacific region. Check out p.8 for the Mission Sub
timetable.
I have little else to offer.

Subject: [cpsig] Huntingdon, BC and Sumas, WA circa 1955
Hi all,
I'm a new list member. I am researching, and soon to be modeling, the NP
"north branches" in western WA circa 1955. Included in this will be the
Sumas/Huntingdon interchange with the CPR and BCER.
Part of my research has been transcribing NP dispatcher train sheets for the
NP north branches from the months that survive for 1955 (+/- 2 years). Those
sheets include the number of loads and empties picked up and set out for the
CPR each day, as well as when the pickups and setouts were made. I have the
info in Excel and would be happy to share with anyone who is interested.
What I would like the list's help with is understanding the CPR's operations
in 1955 at Huntingdon. I have several good photos of the depot but few of
locomotives and cabeese. I also would like to understand what trains were
running to and from Huntingdon (Scheduled or extra? Train numbers? Frequency?
Etc.) Can anyone help?
Thanks.
P.S. I posted a similar note to the "bcelectric" Yahoo group.
