Did the Capitol Ltd. continue to operate with a dome all the way to the final pre-Amtrak run in 1971? And if not, when did it stop?

So, was the 4-25 an anomaly or was the 4-29 special enough to warrant domes? (see page 29 if you have a copy).4/29 was the last B&O Capitol Limited to depart Chicago. Thereafter Amtrak operated any non-commuter passenger operations on B&O.
