How long was their regular run? Smooth riding?   John Garner  John:I'll have to get the mileage from my NS Beach Division time table.  Smoothriding ? NO ! - Run was made on 60# rail and ballast was oystershells that often popped up and scarred the car body.
One item I forgot to mention -- There was a financier that traveledrailroad-to-railroad to prop up lagging railroads.  He came to NSfrom CofG as I recall.  He and some other officials formed a twotransaction corporation.   They bought the rail busses at scrapvalue and sold them to Cuba as used equipment.  Guess whoreceived the profit ?  Next stop for the financial genius ? TheNew Haven railroad.                                                                HWBundy
