A summer timetable handbill from 1857 for the Harlem Railroad, which carried passengers between New York City and the communities to its north, shows how a single schedule change was announced to the public. Summer arrangements like this one typically reset departure times and stops for the warmer months, when travel and commuting patterns shifted. The Harlem Railroad had grown from horse-drawn cars on city streets into a steam-operated line, so a printed schedule like this one marks a period when the railroad was becoming a central part of daily life for New Yorkers.
