Can anyone tell me the arrival and departure times for Union Pacific trains #101/102 and #115/116 in Laramie and Rawlins WY around 1956? This is the City of San Francisco and City of Las Vegas respectively. I've searched on-line for about two hours now and the only on-line schedule I can find for the City of San Francisco is 1969 which is waaay after it was combined with the City of LA.

or I find the abbreviated schedule that only includes Ogden and Cheyenne.
I found one fellow who has the timetable I need but he has not updated his site since 2008 so I doubt I'll get a reply from him.
I really hate buying a time table for $8 plus shipping for these eight numbers..... Well I guess I could also use the numbers for trains #5/6 and #7/8 too, but still.....

The City of Las Vegas ran only between Los Angeles and Las Vegas and did not stop in Laramie or Rawlins. This train began in December 1956.
Thanks, I don't know why I was thinking City of Las Vegas was from Chicago to LV. Must be from doing my research in the wee hours of the morning when I should be sleeping.
