I'm hoping Mike or one of the CGW guys can answer this; what year did the CGW end wholescale passenger op's and what became of their small fleet of passenger coaches?

Answering one question is Wikipedia, obviously subject to correction:

"The last passenger trains, between the Twin Cities and Omaha, made their last runs on September 29, 1965."

The Color Guide list the last two runs of trains 13/14 departing Sept 29th from Minneapolis (13) and Sept 30th from Omaha (14).

As for the 'small fleet' of coaches, that would the two ex-MILW coaches 200-201 that were sold to a Michigan Rail Fan Club in 1965.
