So many secondary and short line passenger routes survived not from passengers, but from the express compartment and US mail. Train after train was pulled off the day after the Mail contract ended. The PO Dept. converted RPO and storage routes to truck as fast as they could in the 40's and 50's. But the RR's had the rolling stock from the passenger days still at hand. It's all gone now. Ain't coming back. Sorry.
