This exciting history portrays the powerful history of the Trailways bus organization, one of the largest systems of independent motorcoach operators in the world. Trailways has been in existence for some 64 years and is still running strong today, specifically in the South, East, and Pacific Northwest. Today there are over 2,500 coaches operating in the Trailway system serving 500 destinations in 27 states, as well as Canada and Mexico.

Well-known bus enthusiast and historian, William A. Luke, has put together this exciting collection of photos that no bus lover should be without.

An innovator in the bus business, Fageol was the first company to build a bus from the ground up, and it was called the Safety Coach. Later in 1927 the Fageol brothers sold out and began Twin Coach. They then built the Model 40 Twin Coach - a twin engine city bus that began the city bus business. This bus operated for up to 20 years in many cities - a rarity at the time. In 1960 Twin Coach was bought by Flxible. Period photos, with detailed captions, tell the story of these buses. This is a book bus enthusiasts won't want to miss.
