It was "around" the time of the "mid 50's" notation began to appear on some of these branch lines in Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska.  It was IIRC around 1952 that the US Postal service removed the US Mail from most of those branch line mixed trains. This date coinsides with t he  "Mixed Train Provides Service Consult Agent notation began to appear in the TT's.

I have an April 1954 Official Guide which says "Mixed Train provides service, consult agent."  No schedule is shown.

I am trying to establish when passenger service on the line from Red Oak to Griswold in western Iowa stopped operating. An ETT for April 1954 shows that the track is classified as a spur track within yard limits with no trains shown. However, a local newspaper was showing a daily except Sunday service at least until August 1954.

Does anyone have a passenger timetable covering the period between these dates and/or for the period after it to help identify the end of passenger service.

Thanks
