The motorist drove his ‘ear up a ramp and on to a railway flat freight car. Then the flat car was shunted on to the carferry, along withthe other railway cars. It was indescribably slow service, compared with today when you drive on and drive off. Bit nobody seemed to mind at the time, not at fhe start anyway. Simply getting across with a car was a novelty that was most acceptable. - I’m not going to discuss Borden's future at this time.
