[NEW YORK OMNIBUS 2629]

All:

Just came across this rare photo from 1948, which, sad to say, had virtually nothing to go by in its brief caption.

Look closely on the left, and you can make out a PSNJ TDH coach.

Now.....where was this taken?

Note on the semi-tractor cab door, the operating company is based in Detroit.

If this photo was taken in Michigan, then this coach would be ready for delivery to PS.

Or, possibly, this truck was making a boat delivery to a NJ company, and photo was snapped somewhere in the Garden State?

In any event, it's an interesting vintage photo.....

NYO -

Get back into HANK'S, and estimate where other photos sited, presented in Robert Callahan Collection.
Without doing the homework on it it, I'll intuit odds favor a local NEW JERSEY site.

Don't rely on Cab Door markings of Interstate trucks! Suppose the truck power unit identified as Lynden
Transport of Seattle, or Sammons Trucking of Missoula? No reason to think the photo in Yakima, WA?

The boats on the truck are were manufactured near Holland Mi so a Michigan based haul away wouldn't be unusual (and those boats were considered the the top of the line in that era, so suspect they would go most everywhere).
