The O&W Bus

The O&W Bus

Oneida's Zeigler Beets poses in front of

the Oneida & Western Railroad's "Mail Bus,

as it was called, which once ran on the rail line

between Oneida and Jamestown Tennessee

for a number of years.

The O&W Railroad was begun in 1914 and

the last run on the line was made in 1954,

according to H. Clay Smith's

Dusty Bits of the Forgotten Past.

Railroad historian Mike O'Neal

says the "M-3" bus

wasn't used very long on O&W;

they retired and disposed

of it by early 1940s after they

bought the larger

"M-4" Brill motorcar.

O'Neal says he thinks the "M-3"

was a 1935 Chevrolet(?) model.

Well for me this has got more meaning

then just the letter's that the "M-3"

delved but the family member that

might have got mail from the bus this is

just some of the odd stuff we research

at The Historical Society In Tennessee

And The Genealogical Society

In Kentucky.

I have done a lot of work in

this area how about you?
