Lincoln Coach Lines is based in Irwin, on present-day US 30.  At least the
one I'm talking about is...there may be another one, but I'd be sure not
with an identical corporate name.

And the Lincoln Coach in the Irwin area had at least two companies with
similar names.

You're right.  Lincoln Coach was over in the Abbotstown - New Oxford area.
Used
to offer a service from York to Hanover that was competitive with York Bus
Co.
Rode it once but I had to ride from Hanover out of town, and then back
through
Hanover so as not to violate the closed door rule to prevent competition
with
York Bus.  Year?  Oh, about January 1954.
