[PRCo] Pittsburgh in the 1960s (and many others)

[Bill Robb]

Here's a collection of 199 photos mostly taken in the 1960s, with some from the PAT era and a few LRV photos, all taken by David Wilson.  There are numerous photos of the 3 car May 1968 charter that went to Homewood Shops,

There is also a collection of bus photos from the transition period in the 60s when small private operators were giving way to government operation photographed on a two week trip in August 1969.  It includes Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia. A second shorter trip has Pittsburgh region operators.

Some rare buses there including two photos of a Cub Coach.  Motor Coach Age thinks only 30-40 of these were built. Basically its a bus on a bread truck chassis.

I visted many of these same places myself, as this is where traction was found in the 60s.
