The cover of the April 1962 timetable featured a collage of color photos showing trains, hotels, ships, and scenery that Canadians might want to see by taking CN trains. The cover on today’s also shows a collage but they are black-and-white photos so heavily tinted with red, blue, green, and yellow that nearly half are completely unrecognizable and the rest are not particularly enticing.

An ad on the page numbered 50 assures us that CN continued to offer all-inclusive fares (covering transportation, meals, and tips) in the fall and winter of 1962. The October 1963 timetable, which was presented here a few years ago, doesn’t mention such fares, so CN must have decided that the Red, White, and Blue fare system that it introduced earlier in 1962 was enough to entice passengers during the off-season.
