Two things triggered the Road'n'Rail:1) There were East End shuttles in the 1950's: an RDC on each line with a P54D trailer. Budd told them to stop that. 2) Greyhound was threatening to go to the East End, Road'n'Rail set up to block franchise. Bus industry was not de-rgeulated until 1982, so that worked. They had mail contracts until 1966, so that might have complicated trains-offs. The only Greenport train on weekdays and non-summer weekends was basically 9am east, 3p west which had mail, baggage and express, Ditto for Montauk, but they also had a commuter train. |
