Santa Fe September 1950 Traveler’s Timetable

The traveler’s timetable format presented yesterday must have been popular as Santa Fe expanded it from 28 to 36 pages in 1950. The only new train is a Raton Pass section of the Grand Canyon, which previously had taken the Amarillo route. In 1950, the westbound train split in Kansas City, with one portion going via Amarillo and the other via Raton Pass. The latter was scheduled to arrive in Los Angeles 15 minutes sooner than the Amarillo section.

The other six new pages list railroad and Pullman fares, which previously had been found only in the full timetables. Because the pages in this version of Santa Fe timetables are only half as big as in the system timetables, they are just a little more than one-third of the size of the full timetables and thus saved a proportional amount in printing.
