I model the P&R  in the 1900-1905 era.  I obtained a 1903 P&R operating rule book and transcribed the majority of it into a word doc, to preserve and share it.

I have attached a copy to this blog post.

If you are familiar with post WW1 timetable and train order rule books you will note some differences.  I call rule books from this era "international" rule books because all the examples of train orders  use international capitols as the station names (... run extra Berlin to Istanbul...).

Enjoy.

A fascinating peek into a world a century ago. So familiar yet so foreign. Eric
