All this discussion of the Overland suburban cars (especially the 2 power
cars w/baggage sections) brought a question to mind. I doubt it is(was)
recorded anywhere but does anyone know when the last newspapers were
delivered by a dinky? I recall Marshall Aull(was he recently made a '"former
employee?") talking about one of his adventures tossing the bundles out of a
car. His seniority date was 1971.I also recall a discussion that after the
power cars went to retirement that the papers were stacked in a double deck
vestibule. I can vouch that a d.d. was used for company mail delivery well
into the late 70's each day. Leo
