Kushequa Line Abandons Train Service In Rushenus Area
Postmaster El WL Workley reports a letter from Mr. Br ie Kane of Rushenus, owner of the Kushequa railroad, stating that starting next Monday the gasoline motor car service between Smethport and Backus will be abandoned due to lack of patronage. One daily train to Smethport at 10:18 am will depart for Backus at 10:20 am. The cut may push mail contracts to motor bus lines from Smethport to Bradford and Mt. Jewett and Kane, with the local bus company favored for mail carrying, possibly improving local service despite the end of the rail run. The Kushequa route will still provide Smethport freight service on the RPRR.
