Re: Trailways bus archives?



Trailways is still in existence up here in the Northeast.  My impression
from taking Trailways across several states is that they were an amalgam of
individual franchises more than a single operation.  The folks at Adirondock
Trailways could tell me little about the schedule or hours of the Concord
Trailways office.

I just went to the Trailways Web site (predictably, trailways.com) and it
says "Trailways is a franchise organization comprised of independent
companies offering travelers the best choices in travel and transportation
services."

I suspect she would need to know what company it was, or look at the
Trailways Web site and find the best geographic match that is still
operating today and try to track it down from that direction.  I think she
faces the same problems as anyone trying to find the business records of a
local business which may have changed ownership or names multiple times.
