Abstract

The records of some 65 local transit companies were preserved within the PP&L archive. Because of divestiture and continued operations, the records of some of the larger transit operations associated with PP&L passed to other successor companies. There are no records for the Lehigh Valley Transit Company, operating in the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton area, or for the Scranton Railway Company or Wilkes-Barre Railways.
