Thanks. It seems they got the idea from the L&N (https://www.joc.com/letters-editor_19890907.html)

"[Hemingford] gained national attention when Burlington passenger #41 was abruptly discontinued on August 14, 1969, stranding its 35 passengers at Hemingford. A supreme court judge then issued an order reinstating service for 10 days, allowing for a more orderly termination" https://casde.unl.edu/history/counties/boxbutte/hemingford/

(Trains 41 and 42 did resume and last ran 8/24)
