Union Pacific June 1958 Timetable

“Beginning June 1st,” says the back cover of this timetable (which was contributed by a Streamliner Memories reader), “the Challenger will again operate as an ALL COACH Streamliner on its regular convenient summer schedule.” This refers to the fact that UP combined the Challenger and City of Los Angeles during the winter.

Aimed at business travelers, the City of Los Angeles was timed to leave its terminal cities in the evening and take two nights and one day to get to the opposite terminal city, thus taking only one business day out of someone’s schedule. The Challenger was aimed at tourist travelers, so its summer schedule was timed to leave in the morning and arrive the following evening, thus allowing travelers to see most of the scenery along the route.

Of course, this schedule also meant that one train or the other could offer daytime service to almost every city along the route. The “summer schedule” was used from June 1 to September 15, and was also used to handle holiday traffic from December 12 to January 15.

This timetable shows two trains a day to San Francisco, including the City of San Francisco and a train only identified as #27 & 28. Those are the numbers previously assigned to the Overland Limited. Judging from the timetable, Southern Pacific was still operating a full train, with coaches, sleepers, a coffee-shop car, and a dome-lounge. But the Union Pacific portion of the route, Omaha-Ogden, carried only a coach, no sleepers and no food service. The train didn’t even continue to Chicago.

Portland was still served by the City of Portland and the Portland Rose, but the latter train went to Kansas City, not Chicago. A lounge car and sleeping car went through from Portland to West Yellowstone.

This timetable also has a new cover or, at least, one that is different from yesterday’s 1957 timetable. The image of two passing domeliners is joined by a map showing the Union Pacific system. Inside, the centerfold is still a much more detailed map. The 48 interior pages follow the same order as previous timetables since 1951, so the index on pages 3-5 is still the same.
