| As I recall, there was a congressman or senator riding the train when this happened. I believe the incident resulted in the Q having to reinstate the train for a short time and legislation requiring discontinued trains to complete their last trip.
I have cross-posted this reply to the CB&Q group to see if anyone there remembers the incident On Oct 20, 2020, at 3:00 PM, Jason P <gmo1515@comcast.net> wrote:
L&N also pulled that kind of shenanigan when it discontinued the southbound Hummingbird en route in Birmingham on January 9, 1969. Supposedly the passengers were bussed to their destinations.

I believe the train was terminated in Wyoming on the way to Billings, MT and was a CB&Q rather than a BN train. Still it was a chicken "manure" move. Hopefully the official responsible for this dumb decision was called on the carpet for tarnishing the Burlington's public image.
