The Gulf Coast Special included a Cafe-Lounge car between Richmond and Florence well into the SCL years. Did this car last up until the train's discontinuance, or was it pulled off earlier? Thanks.

The last SCL public timetable, 12-11-70, still lists the cafe-lounge, but it's possible the car came off before the train's last run on 4- 30-71. I don't have any photos or other info that would confirm that either way.
