New York Omnibus 2629...

you mentioned in an earlier post (and I cant find it among the so many that we have posted...) the International Harvester "Travelall" that the TA had in the mid 1960s...

I finally found the photo showing all ten that were acquired in 1965. I'm assuming that each TA depot had one (there were only 10 TA depots at that time).

Not sure what vehicles MaBSTOA had, probably another ten Travelall but I can't find any reference regarding the OA vehicles.

The Travelall was a sort of "poor-man's Suburban." Most of the Class I freight railroads used the latter as a utility vehicle...with or without "Hi-Rail" wheels. Often used to haul relief crews for trains in remote areas, or around yards.

Also in the market in that era, was the AMC (former Willys) Wagoneer.
