Posted by Jimbo Kalin on Fri Jun 29 12:14:40 2012, in response to Re: Good News for N21/N23/N27 Riders of NICE, posted by Joe V on Mon Jun 4 19:19:19 2012. The Sunrise bus that originated in East Hampton NEVER dead-headed across Shelter Island in the AM and return the same; the bus was always housed or parked on the South Fork. I can recall the locations being in Sag Harbor. The regular driver for that run also lived on the South Fork. (I recall three drivers over a period of about 25 years). To cover vacations, days off, etc. a driver from Greenport drove to Sag Harbor to pick up the bus, do the two roundtrips, and return back to Greenport. Made for a long day. The bus was fueled and cleaned during the brief AM layover in Greenport.The aforementioned freight compartments in the rear of the GM Fishbowls (#101, #102 & #106) were custom built by Hudson Body(?) in New Jersey. Some of the freight carried consisted of auto parts, newspapers, and fresh fish (for restaurants). |
