Employees Timetable, Pittsburgh Division 1940

Just the results of some research on traffic in the 40's. This data is a combination of info from a traffic study and the PRR official employees timetable. Keep in mind that there was a war going on so the traffic is heavy, even though April 28th was a Sunday in 1940. I'm looking for more info circa 1949, but this is the only detailed information I have at this time. I created an Excel spreadsheet so I could arrange the train schedules for both directions chronologically. It shows the times trains passed through Gallitzin and Altoona with an idea of the travel time between the two points for a given train consist. Fully numeric designations are passenger equipment, alpha characters indicate freight. Presents a very clear picture of how trains were moving through Altoona on that Sunday in April, 1940. The schedule does not include helper movements, work trains and other miscellaneous traffic. 

I've added some reference notes about helper operations, track assignments and speed limits at the end.
