The First Time Card

The first time card was published May 1st, 1869, connecting at North Topeka with the Kansas Pacific Railroad and ending temporarily at end of track west of Topeka. It was strung from North Topeka to Burlingame. The stations seem to have been established before the track was laid and the time figured out as the latter did not reach Burlingame until September 18th, 1869. It connected at the latter place with the Barlow, Sanderson & Company's Overland Stage line.

In Effect May 1, 1859
