My son & I found this nice old sign next to an abandoned rail line we were walking in upstate New York back in the early 90's. At the time I didn't realize that it comes from an era when the Union Pacific, Burlington and some of the other "Big Boys" were buying up Bus lines around the country in an effort to recapture some of the rail riding passengers they were losing to them due to the greatly expanding highway system throughout the United States. They also started getting heavy into trucking about the same time, trying to compete with the short haulers sprouting up all over the country |
