Harry,

This is great info, thanks.  With this new info, I think it is time to 
summarize all of the info that has been posted on the Mailing List about 
the discontinuance of passenger service between Lynchburg and Durham, so 
here goes.

    FINAL PASSENGER TRAIN SERVICE

        Aug. 28, 1954 - This date is the day prior to first appearance
        of mixed trains 71 and 72 in operating timetables. - Harry Bundy
        9/23/2020 email

        Late August (or less likely early September) - personal
        recollection. - Gordon Hamilton 9/21/2020 email

        Late 1953 or early 1954 - Warden/Miller's book. - John Garner
        9/20/2020 email

    FINAL MIXED TRAIN SERVICE

        Apr. 28, 1957 - Public timetable shows mixed train in effect. -
        Ken Miller 9/22/2020 email

        By Jun. 30, 1957 - Public timetable stamped schedule changes see
        agent. - Ken Miller 9/22/2020 email

        By Oct. 27, 1957  - Public timetable states, "Freight Service
        Only." - Ken Miller 9/22/2020 email

        By 1958  - Warden/Miller's book. - John Garner 9/20/2020 email

        By Jan. 1, 1958 - Nos. 71 and 72 had become fourth class with no
        scheduled station stops. - Harry Bundy 9/23/2020

        By Jun. 15, 1958  - Public timetable states ,"Freight Service
        Only." - Larry Stone 9/21/2020 email

        By Aug. 26, 1959 - Not in Aug. 26, 1959 operating timetable. -
        Harry Bundy 9/21/2020 email.

    The best conclusion that I can make from the above is that passenger
    train service ended on Aug. 28, 1954 and that mixed train service
    ended sometime between Apr. 28, 1957 and Jun. 30, 1957.
