Lew, ant idea of what station that time table is from?

That trainboard was on the outside wall of the Grand Canyon station, on the highway side of the building.

This is the Santa Fe station at Grand Canyon Village, Az from the trackside. In the early '60s it was rare in the Summertime to be able to see the station unobscured by standing Tour Trains. Almost always at least one and often two long passenger trains arrived in the morning and sat empty all day while the passengers became tourists viewing the Grand Canyon. In the evening those trains would slip away bound for either La or Chicago.

On edit: Checking Dad's trip logs he took that pic Summer of '62, '63, or '64. I spent those Summers hanging out at the canyon.
