Amityville M-1 first day of new service
08/06/1973
Inaugural run of the Road n’ Rail bus
service to Montauk on 6/8/63. Amityville was the origin for the South Shore
run.
ZIP cars photo was taken within
days of the first runs of this new equipment in August 63 (note the
World’s Fair logo on the sides)
The Cannonball regularly ran on the
Montauk division so I got to enjoy its passing every Friday in summer.
