Silly sentence

I've just removed this sentence from the paragraph about segregated accommodations: "By 1957, the Champion's colored coach was resting in Railroad Heaven." What does that mean, exactly?

Cutesy talk is inappropriate in an encyclopedia article. If someone can document the date that the ACL stopped running its segregated combo cars, please do so. The only link in the paragraph that would seem to refer to this subject is not working now. Textorus (talk) 11:53, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
