There is no mention of the Scout in this timetable. It isn’t mentioned in the January 1, 1954 timetable either, but is listed in the January 1953 timetable, when it was the same Newton-Albuquerque fragment of its former self described here yesterday. So the name Scout must have been finally discontinued in late 1953. Starting June 6, 1954, the Scout‘s numbers, 1 & 2, were assigned to the San Francisco Chief.

The California Limited was in the January 1954 timetable, but that name is gone from this one (in fact, it made its last run in June 1954 and was gone from the June 1954 timetable). Today’s timetable still shows trains 3 & 4, which were once the numbers of the California Limited, but as coach-only trains between Kansas City and Carlsbad via the Amarillo route. With the California Limited gone, trains 5 & 6 to Fort Worth were now combined with trains 9 & 10, the Kansas City Chief.
