One of the little mysteries for me has been, why have no 1950s and 1960s TAG diesel era employees timetables ever turned up. I had a timetable collector tell me that he thought he remembered seeing one from the 1950s. In another conversation with the late president of the Aberdeen & Rockfish railroad and shortline railroad historian Ed Lewis, he postulated that perhaps #28 from 1943 was the last issue and that perhaps they ran freight trains going forward as extras but continued to use 28 till the Southern takeover. Well Ed was right. TAG used 28 right up to the end. I know this because I have recently seen a TAG dispatcher¡¯s train sheet from the merger timeframe and hand written under timetable was 28. I have a copy of 28 and recently examined another and they are slightly different sizes. Obviously two different printings. Well maybe this doesn¡¯t mean much to you all but I have always loved collecting employees timetables from TAG and Central of Georgia and I at least know that going forward I need to look backwards and not ahead regarding TAG.
