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.
The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul
