Today is the 50th Anniversary of the end of Cotton Belt passenger service. The last #7 from East St. Louis to Pine Bluff ran on November 29, 1959. The following day the last #8 arrived in East St. Louis. By December 1959 the two Cotton Belt PA-1s had been sent to the Southern Pacific and in January 1960 the Cotton Belt's FP7 followed them into Espee passenger service.
