PRCo Secret Records!!!

Greetings!

The Port Authority has been operating mass transit in Allegheny County since 1964. 
What do you know about the
predecessor companies? 

Who were they? What areas did they serve? What did their equipment look like? 
These and other questions will be answered through periodic updates to this web 
site. Thanks go to the following: Some of the text is condensed from articles 
which appeared in Motor Coach Age, written by Ray Foley and Ollie Miller. Their 
pioneering efforts helped to preserve the pre-PAT era of transit. Pennsylvania 
Trolley Museum Archivist Ed Lybarger has been instrumental in permitting access to 
material compiled by PAT, including photos taken at the times of acquisition of 
the independents, copies of timetables and tickets, and the yet-to-be-explored 
"secret records" that Pittsburgh Railways kept on the competition! As time and 
resources permit, we'll turn each company name into a link. As always, help is 
appreciated. Stay tuned!
