I was recently looking at a 1971 timetable and was struck by the number of locations where passenger cars were added or cut out to provide effective through service.
While I am sure that there are others that I am missing, I can think of only three locations where such activity occurs today: LSL, EB and SL/TE. Are there others.
While I recognize that height differences between Superliners and Viewliners have made it impossible on transcontinental routings and the labor and other costs have made it impractical elsewhere, the loss was nonetheless a shame. It was certainly convenient in the late 70s to have an overnight hotel room in NOL on the Southern Crescent/Sunset routing.
