GPEX milk cars then leased to Richter Vinegar on the ferry. These were the last such I saw in revenue service. One was subsequently pulled off to be placed on a lter ferry to provide more room for the number of automobiles waiting, presumably at a more profitable rate. Sorry it's not our time frame but what ever happened to the car ferries after service was suspended? Sold for similar service elsewhere? Cordially, Don Valentine
