Carnegie Coach Lines was the last of the 29 independents acquired by PAAC. Â It was a one man operation--the owner was the driver, mechanic, scheduler and every other position needed to run a bus company with five (mostly short) routes and two buses--a 1952 Marmon with a Chevy school bus as backup, both purchased used.

  In the Fall of 1964 I started to compile a summary of PAT bus company (and PRC) acquisitions that year - company name, location, date acquired and purchase price. My sources were articles in the Pittsburgh Press and input from some trolley fans who lived in towns along the acquired routes. 



  I'm looking for� the final summary.� In the meantime, attached are my incomplete working notes. Apologies for the messy presentation, but it's allI can find right now.

Dwight, 



Were you able to open the three Carnegie Coach newspaper articles that I attached to a recent e-mail to the Trolley List? If not, I can re-send them to your personal e-mail address.
