As late as June of 1969, the Crescent and the Southerner were still operating as independent daily trains with diverging routes south of Atlanta, although by that date their southbound runs were combined north of Atlanta. By February 1970, though, partner railroads West Point Route and L. & N. had dropped Crescent service, and Southern had combined what remained of the Crescent and the Southerner into the Southern Crescent as shown here, using the all-Southern route of the Southerner.
