The timetables have been rearranged slightly, but the schedules are virtually the same as in the 1961 edition. These smaller timetables no longer list a bus from Durango to Mesa Verde National Park. But they do list a twice-daily bus between Glenwood Springs and Aspen with the warning that “rail tickets not honored” on that bus.

Several tiny ads mention vista domes, the “best way to see the best of the West.” By this time, most of Rio Grande’s trains except the Durango-Silverton had domes. No domes are listed for the Denver-Craig Yampa Valley Mail, but if they weren’t used in 1962 they were added later. The Colorado Eagle didn’t have a vista-dome; it had a “planetarium chair car.” Though it was built by Budd, for some reason Missouri Pacific decided not to use the vista-dome name.
