What about (based on fa-list-ul):
method-draw-image

That looks a little too much like a bulleted list for me... possibly with tree-style expander/collapser nodes.

When I think "timeline", what comes to mind is horizontal stuff like the direction people are going in #3915 (especially this one).

I agree.
In my opinion I prefer this one https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/3915#issuecomment-137683620 (the second and the third)
or this one https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/8107#issue-120863441

Actually, I was referring to both of the examples here. I just don't associate timelines with a column of dots with blocks beside them. That, to me, says "greeked representation of a list".

As for the other one you linked to, I'm not overly enthused by any of those.

While I recognize the project management software visualization that the first one evokes, it does not look like the general conception of a timeline.

As for the other two, having the timelines running through the boxes makes them look too much like stylized representations of abacuses.

The three things I intuitively associate with timelines as iconographic abstracts are:

  1. Time is the horizontal axis.
  2. The events are rectangles
  3. If they have lines, they're vertical lines, associating them with specific instants on the timeline along the bottom.

... like how these timelines do it:

Even the example Gantt charts on the Wikipedia article look more like that.
