The last time I rode it, absinthe was involved and my memory is a bit foggy.
I believe this token is Atwood-Coffee LA670O but I do not have that reference book.

I knew I had a few transportation tokens tucked away from an accumulation of coins I'd bought 25 or 30 years ago. Here they are...

Came across this one today, a New Hampshire toll road token. You'll also see these with the a letter "A" or "B" cut out. My understanding is that the their use was phased out at the end of 2005. This particular specimen has acquired a lovely dark patina.
