From a trip in January 1979:
I wanted to get one last ride in on the 'Southern Crescent' before Amtrak took it over. I was riding the 'Floridian' north from Miami on a 'USA Railpass' but upon reaching Birmingham I found out the Southern Crescent was sold out from there but I could get a coach seat in Atlanta where additional cars were added.
Now what to do?.....Well Greyhound had a bus and with a quick taxi ride in Atlanta I was there in time to get the Southern Crescent to Washington.
