Union Pacific June 1965 Timetable

We’ve previously seen an April 1964 timetable. This one, whose scans were (like yesterday’s) generously donated by Tim Zukas, is similar but in both timetables the number of trains has thinned out from the previous decade.

The Las Vegas Holiday Special was still on the 1965 timetable. Train 27 & 28, once known as the San Francisco Overland, has been downgraded to operating only between Omaha and Laramie while another train of the same numbers operated between Ogden and Oakland. The Omaha-Laramie train had just a coach with no food services.

In the summers of both 1964 and 1965, Union Pacific offered train 47 & 48, the Park Special. It went between Pocatello and Victor Idaho, about 100 miles short of West Yellowstone, after which passengers to Yellowstone would take a bus. The train carried through cars to Chicago on the City of Portland. The timetable shows connections to trains to Los Angeles, St. Louis, and other cities, but some of them required layovers of more than 12 hours in Salt Lake City.
