Indeed, about 1956, as you say, the Interstate Hwy System and immediately afterwards did in the "local" and accomodation trains that we rememeber so well. The REAL "coup de grace" tho was in 1967 when the last Railway Post Office car came off. As someone has posted the mail and Railway Express Agency business kept these trains on the rails as long as they were. All should read the sad story in David Lyon's excellent work "To Hell in a Day Coach", now out of print. But copies could be obtained throught Amazon or O.P. dealers.
