Burlington May 1962 Timetable

A branchline train between St. Joseph and Lincoln had been discontinued since yesterday’s February timetable. That made it possible to move the schedule for the St. Louis-Minneapolis Zephyr-Rocket from page 16 to the more prestigious page 11 (before the centerfold map rather than after). The space vacated on page 16 was used for a half-page ad for vista-dome Zephyrs.

Burlington had long lost interest in putting full-page ads in its timetables. However, it seemed to use half-page ads as filler whenever a few trains were discontinued but not enough to reduce the number of pages of its timetables.
