Grand Trunk Railroad Public Timetable 1924

1924 Grand Trunk Public Timetable

Looks like Ainsworth had more trains stopping in 1924 than in 1928. A daily train westbound train from Valpo to Chicago, stopping in Ainsworth at 7:55 a.m. (the "milk train," I suppose), a daily eastbound stopping at 5:13 p.m.; and two daily-except-Sunday trains, westbound stopping at 5:20 p.m., eastbound at 10:18 a.m.

(How could there not be a 7-days-a-week milk train in 1928? What did the cows do on Sunday?)

(Don't talk to me about refrigeration. I prefer to think the cows had Sunday off.)
