Issued about a year-and-a-half after yesterday’s, today’s timetable is back up to 44 pages. Although the half-page ad on the front cover says that “42 new trains added” in 1953, this wasn’t why the page count grew.

Instead, three of them four pages that had been cut from the April 1951 timetable in the September 1951 edition were restored in the 1953 timetable. The fourth page, a full-page ad on the inside back cover, wasn’t restored. Instead, the number of pages on train service between New York and Cape Cod was increased from one to two. This wasn’t because more trains were added on this route; instead, the newer timetable just spread them out more. If 42 trains were added, they must have been added to other timetables without adding to the space requirements for those tables.
