In 1966, Missouri Pacific’s timetable shrank from an eight-page booklet to the equivalent of six pages in a folder. The actual train schedules filled three pages of the previous edition, but only two are needed in the 1966 version.

Routes cut from the 1966 schedule included Memphis-Little Rock, Houston-Brownsville, and Kansas City-Omaha. In addition, the four daily trains on the St. Louis-Kansas City route were cut to three. The train that was dropped was 11 & 12, once known as the Colorado Eagle, but it lost that name (as well as its dome cars, diner, and other amenities) in 1964. With this timetable, the train completely disappeared.
