These memo timetables show the schedules of the Kansas City Zephyr and American Royal Zephyr along with several unnamed trains that only went from Chicago to Galesburg. They also show connecting trains from Kansas City to St. Joseph — some of the same trains as were shown on yesterday’s Kansas City-Omaha timetables.

Note that the image on the cover appropriately shows vista domes, while yesterday’s did not. However, it shows five dome cars per train, while the Chicago-Kansas City trains only had two. The observation cars on the Kansas City trains also had blunt ends, not the nicely rounded ones shown in the picture.

Unlike yesterday’s timetables, which showed the schedules on one page and fares on two, the schedules on this one cover two pages, leaving the fares for the last page. This is so it could show the five additional trains a day between Chicago and Galesburg. The fare from Chicago to Kansas City was $13.95 (almost $140 in today’s dollars).

By 1967, the number of Galesburg trains had dropped to four. Burlington had also tinkered with the schedule of the American Royal Zephyr in both directions, probably because that train was never as successful as the railroad hoped it would be. Fares were unchanged.

My final item today is an even smaller timetable showing the schedule of commuter trains between Chicago and Aurora. Burlington offered 25 weekday trains a day in this 38-mile corridor, 15 on Saturdays, and 11 on Sundays. Depending on the time of day, trains took anywhere from 50 to 80 minutes, for average speeds of 28 to 45 miles per hour.
