Rock Island April 1960 Timetable

As with yesterday’s timetable, this one has no major changes but it does have some minor tinkering in the schedules. Fifteen minutes have been added to the schedule of train #9, the southbound Corn Belt Rocket, between Minneapolis and Omaha. The northbound schedule of the same train was unchanged.

Ten minutes were added to the schedule of the southbound Zephyr Rocket and 25 minutes to the northbound train between Minneapolis and St. Louis. All of the addition was on the Burlington portion of the route.

Finally, 19 minutes was cut from the schedule of train #39, the westbound Chicago-Los Angeles train that was once known as the Imperial but which lost its name in 1958. Oddly, Rock Island added 40 minutes to its portion of the schedule while Southern Pacific cut 59 minutes from its portion. The eastbound schedule was left unchanged.
