Killed by Amtrak
Soon after the New York Central and Pennsylvania railroads merged in 1968, Penn Central petitioned the Interstate Commerce Commission to permit discontinuation of the Manhattan Limited. Though permission was granted, passage of the Rail Passenger Act in 1970 gave a reprieve. But when Amtrak took over, it chose to refurbish the premier Broadway Limited, with the Manhattan Limited making its final run on April 30, 1971. (The Broadway Limited lasted until 1995.)
