SFAIK, Greg -

The Governor's Special was the only train that the C&TS operated for the public in 1970, although one or two of the equipment moves did seem to have had larger crews than absolutely necessary . . .     eye rolling smiley

And you are right that "for profit" operations began in the summer of 1971.  I saw one train each way over Labor Day Weekend, with a freshly painted (and unlettered) #483 on the point, but IIRC #484 had pulled the first train a few weeks before.
