Transportation Displays Incorporated (TDI) provided the New Haven with commuter schedules during the last few decades of the railroad's existance. The TDI schedules were filled with paid advertising, which turned the schedules into a modest profit center for the railroad. All schedules from the collection of Marc Frattasio .
| The New Haven's relationship with TDI began during the mid to late 1930s. This Stoughton Branch commuter schedule dates from 1939. |
| TDI schedules of the 1940s featured a smaller and slightly different version of the 'script' monogram than the 1930s schedules. This Brockton commuter schedule dates from 1947. | ![]() |
![]() | TDI schedules of the early to mid 1950s featured a 'script' monogram contained within a trapezoidal panel. New TDI schedules were typically published at the beginning of each month. This Franklin Branch schedule dates from 1954. |
| TDI schedules published after 1955 featured the McGinnis "NH" logo. This Quincy commuter schedule dates from 1959. TDI still exists today and continues to publish schedules for the commuter lines operating out of Grand Central Terminal. | ![]() |
