Following SEPTA's Reading Division transition to Conrail-contracted operations in April, 1976, the bottom of the white cardstock timetables were revised in May 23, 1976 from the Reading Lines logo to the initial "ConRail" logo, with lines above and below.
The white cardstock timetables were common for many of the Philadelphia lines running to and from Reading terminal. All white with blue lettering, they were a simple alternative to the fold-out timetables with their specific colors designating a particular line (i.e. Chestnut Hill yellow, Warminster pink, Newtown orange, Lansdale gray, West Trenton blue, and Norristown green, for example).
In the June 26, 1976 revision, no changes were made from the May 23 version. However, in the September 7, 1976 version, the familiar all caps "CONRAIL," with wheels on rails logo alongside, was added.
In an October 30, 1977 version of the table, the familiar "CONRAIL" logo was shown as a registered trademark!
Alongside was added the new Septa logo.
