List,
Just out of curiosity, I noticed in the two ETTs below that the schedule for the Buffalo and Southwestern Division has three westbound 2nd Class trains but no complimentary eastbound trains.  Are these trains going back to Buffalo from Jamestown via another railroad?

I believe many railroads made a scheduled train going in one direction, ususally from the oringinating point.  This allows the train to run without needing any train orders.  The return trains were run as extras.  Ususally only one train order needed to start the train.  All meets were made by the timetable.
