With this edition, Burlington system timetables shrank from 36 to 32 pages. This was made possible by reducing the number of pages of condensed timetables from nine to seven, reducing the number of pages showing connections from two to one, and eliminating the back cover advertisement (again).

One change from the previous timetable was that trains 45 and 52, overnight locals between Chicago and Minneapolis, were cut back to Chicago-Savanna, just 145 miles instead of 427. Operating late at night westbound and early in the morning eastbound, this train made about a dozen stops that were skipped by every other train in the corridor. It must have been mainly mail and express because it only carried a coach for passengers. I’m not sure if anyone missed it not going to the Twin Cities any longer, but it reduced the number of Burlington’s daily Chicago-Minneapolis trains to five.

Otherwise, I don’t see any passenger trains missing from this timetable that were in the May edition. What is missing from this timetable are buses: some of the branchline timetables that only showed buses in May are listed as “freight only” in this one. Instead of dropping trains, it appears that two pages of condensed timetables were eliminated by reducing the number of ads and rearranging the schedules.
