Union Pacific June 1957 Timetable

This timetable (which was contributed by a Streamliner Memories reader) is the first I have seen to include the City of Las Vegas. That train began operating in December, 1956, using the General Motors Aerotrain. UP continued to use that equipment through September, 1957, which means it was in use when this timetable was issued. After that, it used conventional streamlined cars.

This timetable just says the train consists of coaches and a buffet-lunch counter car. The train left Los Angeles at 8:00 am, arriving in Las Vegas at 3:00 pm, then after a quick turn left Vegas at 4:30 pm and arrived back in L.A. at 11:15 pm. This allowed UP to operate the train with just one set of equipment.
