Trying to pinpoint the very last time that a steam engine train made a commercial/industrial revenue run with which exact R/R = someone witnessing/substantiating that had to make it an event worth notoriety via some media form, documentation, whatever. When was the last Model T used as a daily vehicle, when was the last treadle sewing machine used in a factory setting, when was the manual typewriter last actually used to conduct business. ?

Yes, this is all very interesting I'm sure! But nobody has yet really answered the question - and I'd rather like to know the answer myself. So, when was the last occasion that a steam locomotive hauled a normal revenue earning train on a US railroad (not an enthusiast/tourist special)? Also, when was the last one in industrial use?
