Is there some way I could find out what passenger trains ran through the town of Elk River, MN on any randomly chosen weekday in July 1953? Didn't the Official Guide have that kind of schedules?

The closest that I have is a Sept 1958 Official Guide -

Northern Pacific
W/B Train 1-13 combined 9:56 a.m
Train 3-11 combined 10:13 p.m.
Train 25 (does not stop), passing through approx 8:25 p.m.

E/B Train 2-14 combined 8:57 p.m.
Train 4-12 combined 5:30 a.m.
Train 26 (does not stop), passing through approx 5:25 a.m.

Great Northern shows freight-only.

JR

I actually think I have a July 1953 guide. It is a book case deep. If this is the info you need I will dig it out.
