City of San Francisco and City of Las Vegas schedules.
Posted by Texas Zepher on Sunday, January 2, 2011 1:44 AM

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.....

From the February 1956 Official Guide (tt eff. 2/1/56):

 

City of San Francisco

#101

Laramie: Ar 10:45 am, Dp 10:46 am

Rawlins: Ar. 12:40 pm, Dp; 12:41 pm;

#102

Rawlins: Ar. 3:24pm, Dp. 3:25 pm

Laramie: Ar: 5:11pm. Dp. 5:12 pm.

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.
