Anybody else here collect employee timetable? I've been doing it for about ten years now. I don't have many; in fact, some people's "extras/duplicates" list is larger than my whole collection!

I collect timetables for roads that I have an interest in, generally lines that I've seen in person. Occasionally I'll pick up a timetable because it looks cool or it has an interesting format. Maps are always welcomed additions, but not every timetable has one. I love timetables that are books. Norfolk Southern seems to have had the best format, up to the Conrail split. They are convenient to carry and read and easy to store. Loose pages in binders are annoying, especially because the binders are always in short supply. I thankfully have a Canadian National and a Conrail binder.
There are, oddly some glaring omissions from my collection. I've come to realize recently that I have no New York Central employee timetables, even though I have a full set of from Penn Central and consider myself a staunch New York Central fan. I am also lacking a Norfolk Southern Illinois Division from the 1990s even though I have the rest of the NS system from that era. I'd really like to find an Indiana & Ohio timetable, but they seem especially hard to get.
