They ran the buses in ADDITION, not "instead" of. Only the commuter train to Greenport came off initially in 1963, and that was the end of it. The day train stayed, while 6 buses were added, and it kept Greyhound out of the Twin Forks, who would have been aggressive and competent enough 50 years ago to do so.Can you find an ICC or PSC filing or any other paper trail to justify your claim ? A RR running a bus does not always mean they want to kill the train. Not of their behaviors to train-offs were evident: 1) The trains did not come off after RPO contracts were cancelled in 1965 or 66 as most were across the country 2) The parlor and bar cars continued 3) Train frequency was not reduced 4) Bus frequency was not increased 4) Parlor car fleet was replaced in 1968 5) Greenport got summer Monday service added in 1971 |
