We’ve already seen CN’s April 1969 timetable, which shows that CN did not split its Super Continental into two trains during the summer of 1969 as it had in 1967 and 1968. Instead, it ran a single train that reached 17 cars long between Edmonton and Vancouver, including a Sceneramic Lounge car.

The April timetable also shows that, between June 16 and September 9, the Panorama was restored to service from Montreal and Toronto. However, the Montreal/Toronto train went only to Jasper. Meanwhile, a separate Winnipeg-Vancouver train of the same name continued to operate both during and before and after the high season with a full 11 cars into Vancouver plus one more between Jasper and Saskatoon. A Sceneramic Lounge car was on the Edmonton-Vancouver portion of the Winnipeg train, but not the Montreal-Toronto trains.

This timetable shows a slightly smaller, 12-car Super Continental over the Edmonton-Vancouver segment, including a Sceneramic Lounge car. The Panorama is smaller still, consisting of just six cars, between Winnipeg and Vancouver plus a Saskatoon-Vancouver car. Of course, there was no train between Montreal-Toronto and Jasper.

Neither the Ocean nor the Scotian were shown carrying the Skyview observation car in the April timetable. That continues with this timetable. Both this and the April timetables were back down to 52 pages. The timetable also discreetly does not mention the Turbo trains, which still had not been put into service due to technical problems.
