MILW Freight Train Manual 11-4-1974 – each schedule includes the old train number and the new number after the 1974 renumbering. This copy was addressed to the Superintendent of the Iowa Division. It includes some schedule updates to December 1975, but I suspect that it was only trains relevant to the area that were updated in the book.
Also see the Superintendents’ Association of Kansas City Joint Freight Time Card 67 for outbound trains from Kansas City in 1942.
