Re: When BOWERY Was Considered a Terminal

Oh yes. That was a resort until WWII.

If you look at LIRR schedules through the early 60's, there was an "NB" on top of most columns, meaning no checked baggage. But there was usually a token train on each branch that handled it, especially if they got an RPO car, which on the LIRR was almost always Baggage-Express-RPO combos, the RPO section being shorter than most of railroads, like 15'.
