Last June I gave a presentation to the Chicago Chapter-R&LHS on ERIE suburban
service out of Chicago. While I have a photocopy of the schedules, it could
not be located and several individuals have asked me for copies -- which at the
moment cannot be provided. However, as there were slide images of this
timetable, a friend of mine with a slide scanner was kind enough to scan them and
Email them to me -- and they are attached (there are four -- one for each panel
of the schedule).

You will note that there are three round trips. The midday trip appears to be
an accomodation (mixed) train. Additionally, there was a branch north (from
Bass Lake Jct) to Bass Lake. It is BELIEVED (but as yet uncertian) that W/B
trains may have backed down the branch to Bass Lake, heading out as they
proceeded toward the main. E/B trains may have headed in to Bass Lake, backing out to
the main. There is very little info available on this branch, and there is no
evidence on the ground, nor is there anything to be seen from areal photos.

The ERIE's Chicago suburban service does not even compare to that once
operated out of Jersey City (in fact it is pale compared with the suburban service
once operated out of Cleveland), but it did exist.

If the attachments are done correctly, you will see the timetable from cover
to back, in that order.
