Can anyone tell me when passenger service ended on the following lines?

  1. Chicago to Indianapolis (1959?)
  2. Chicago to Louisville
  3. Service to French Lick

Thanks

Chicago-Louisville service ended in 1967. The Thoroughbred served this route and was Monon’s last passenger train. High-nose steam-generator equipped C420’s were the regular power at the end of operations.

Chicago to Indy service ended April 9th, 1959.
Bloomington to French Lick went in September of '49.
