This timetable isn’t a lot different from yesterday’s. Erie had three daily trains between Jersey City and Chicago plus six more that terminated at places like Port Jervis or Middletown, New York. Yesterday’s timetable showed summer schedules, which don’t show up on today’s, which may be the main difference between the two.

For example, yesterday’s timetable showed a train that went as far as Port Jervis most of the year but all the way to Susquehanna, Pennsylvania during the summer. The Susquehanna train is not shown on this fall timetable.

Two days ago, I mentioned extra fares in the post about the Erie Limited. Erie along with its competitors dropped most extra fares early in the Depression. Only the 20th Century and Broadway continued to charge extra fares, a situation that remained true in 1957.
