In early 1971, U.S. railroads were getting ready to turn most of their passenger trains over to Amtrak, but Canadian National (which was then owned by the government) still had plenty of trains. Yet there were fewer than just two years before, since this timetable is just 40 pages long compared to 52 in the 1969 timetables.

The Panorama, which I described a couple of days ago, made its last run in 1969. The Ocean and Chaleur were merged into one train between Montreal and Moncton. A lot of local trains were replaced by buses. Still, there were plenty of trains going to many places in this timetable.
