I located a Union Pacific Railroad timetable posted on line (webpage prohibits copying so I can't post it here) that was dated May 1882. It showed trains between Omaha and Ogden:
Running West
No. 7 No. 1 No. 3
Running East
No. 4 No. 6 No. 2

And of course, Amtrak and commuter railroads use east is even system today.

Perhaps a FTer owns one of the 30's, 40's or 50's AA timetables that they could post showing westbound flights on one side of the page and eastbound on the other, just as rail schedules did. Sometime in the 60's, the airlines figured out that direction didn't really matter to an airplane, so they went to today's "quick reference" schedules.
