There were almost no changes between the May 1963 timetable shown here yesterday and this one (scans for which were provided by Bryan Howell). The May timetable included the Chicago-Galesburg segment of the westbound California Zephyr in the Chicago-Kansas City schedules, apparently for the benefit of those who wanted to connect with a train to Hannibal. This column disappeared in the November timetable.

The only real substantive change I can see between the two timetables is still trivial. In May, train 15 between Chicago and Galesburg is listed as having coaches only. The November timetable announced that, on Fridays only, this train included a “buffet-lounge” with “refreshments and sandwich service.” This car was not listed on train 2, the eastbound counterpart to train 15. Perhaps it was included on the train but not opened for food service.
