Oh, yeah, leaving Binghamton on a Sunday they would announce PA was dry and to order up before you get across the border. The Erie had another problem going into PA at Great Bend, leaving at Gulf Summit, go back into PA at Narrowsburg and back to NY at Sparrowbush; they were opening and closing the bar every hour or so.
And collecting and paying taxes on drinks...and food...aboard trains in NY varied from county to county, even town to town; the wait staff had to know their geography when you ordered. Soup in Broome County, entree in Tioga and dessert in Chemung: three different taxes on the same check!!???
