Content Description
The collection is comprised of timetables from Northwestern United
States and Canadian railroads, including timetables from subsidiary and
predecessor companies. Includes primarily timetables for railroads in
Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho and British Columbia and secondarily,
material from the Great Northern and Northern Pacific Railways in several other
states and provinces.
Includes timetables for the Great Northern Railway; Northern Pacific
Railway; Burlington Northern Railroad; Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific
Railroad; Union Pacific; Spokane Portland & Seattle Railway; Southern
Pacific Company; various Canadian railroads operating in British Columbia; and
other miscellaneous shortlines. Dating from 1862 to 2000, the collection
contains timetables from the earliest days of the railroad in the northwest,
and is believed to be the largest collection of Northwest employee timetables
in existence.
Other Descriptive Information
Origins of the Railroad Employee Timetable
Collection
For many years, the Great Northern Railway maintained a small museum
in its general offices in St. Paul, Minnesota. Several volumes of employee
timetables were included, some of them going back to the very earliest days of
the railroad. After the Burlington Northern merger of 1970, the museum was
discontinued and the material was placed in a basement storeroom and
neglected.
James C. Mattson was an employee of Great Northern and later
Burlington Northern. Over a period of many years he gathered a large personal
collection of employee timetables. In 1982, he found that Burlington Northern
was no longer interested in its historical material and began to search for a
way to safeguard the timetables. In 1983, the company authorized donation of
the timetables to the Museum of History & Industry, with the stipulation
that Mattson would donate his personal collection at the same time. This
original large accession from Burlington Northern and Mattson, with continuing
additions by Mattson and two smaller donations from other sources, comprises
the Railroad Employee Timetable Collection.

Administrative Information
Acquisition Information The timetables were donated in multiple accessions over several years.
The bulk of the collection was donated in 1983 (Accession No. 1983.75):
approximately 2000 Great Northern timetables donated by Burlington Northern
Railroad Company, to which James C. Mattson added approximately 1800 timetables
from his personal collection. Mattson made 18 further donations of employee
timetables between 1986 and 2002: Accession Nos. 1986.6; 1987.84; 1987.96;
1988.5, 1989.1; 1990.2; 1990.59; 1991.4; 1992.1; 1993.9; 1994.1; 1994.13;
1995.11; 1996.1; 1997.13; 1998.20; 2001.27 and 2002.16. Additionally, the
Washington State Historical Society donated 5 timetables in 1986 (Accession No.
1986.6); and the Cheney Cowles Museum donated 35 timetables in 1996 (Accession
No. 1996.27).
Custodial History The 854 timetables comprising Accession No. 1990.59 were part of the
estate of Robert W. Johnston before being purchased by James Mattson.
Mattson acquired the 142 timetables in Accession No. 1994.13 from Dick
Rudolf, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Processing Note Processed by James C. Mattson in 1983, and upon the addition of each
accession over several years.
Each timetable accession was interfiled with Accession No. 1985.75
upon receipt.

Great Northern Railway
Company, 1862-1968
The railway that became the Great Northern was begun when James J.
Hill purchased the failing St. Paul & Pacific Railroad in 1878. The St.
Paul & Pacific was reorganized the following year as the St. Paul,
Minneapolis & Manitoba Railway, which operated under that name until 1889,
when it became the Great Northern Railway.
This series includes timetables for the entire Great Northern
system, including predecessor and related companies.
With the exception of some early timetables at the beginning of
the series, timetables are arranged largely by division, and include timetables
of predecessor companies. For example, within a file of timetables for a
particular division, the timetables dating between 1879 and April 1890 are
those of the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba Railway.
