Yesterday, I guessed that the train chartered by the Detroit masons went to Oakland over the Southern Pacific. One indication of that is that the conventioneer who saved yesterday’s system timetable also saved this timetable for the Overland Route, which means Ogden to Oakland. While not absolute proof, he or she wouldn’t have needed this timetable if they weren’t taking the SP from Ogden to Oakland.

We’ve previously seen a 1937 Overland Route timetable. SP also had special timetables for the Shasta, Sunset-Golden State, and Coast-San Joaquin routes. These contained detailed timetables for the indicated portion of SP’s lines plus condensed timetables for the rest.
