Washington to St George service lasted much longer than two monhs in the
early 1900's.. Pullman cars were used which would not be on the alleged St
George-Cranford run I never heard of. What was its purpose?

St George service was terminated when new CNJ Terminal opened in Jersey City
in which B&O  used White 788 buses to take passengers as far as Columbus
Circle. In both cases, St George and Jersey City service connected Manhattan
via ferry
