Anyone have rosters for these two operations, especially from the 60's 70's. I have been looking through delivery lists for various Motor Coach builders (what I can even find of them) but not really finding the nubers I feel I should be finding. Only a handful of PD-4104 and a 4106. I know they had to have more than that. I did find about 30 for Capitoal of those two models.
Also looking for equivalent photos of that era. I would like to drum up something to use for HO scale decals. (private use shouldn't infringe on anyones trademark rights)
Thanks,
Rob |

Rob, both of those companies had quite a few 04's and 06's. If I can find anything I'll let you know. |

Awesome, That certainly exceeds the 54 units I discovered. I jumped from 1 to 44 right off the bat. I certainly appreciatethe assist. I sure thought I remembered taking photos of the Parade of Progress buses at the Reading Shops with the T-1 behind them when the RCT&HS had the open houses with the 2102 in 1985 (or 86) One day they will surface.
I was reminded of an ex County police dispatcher that is apparently working for Bieber. I may be able to hustle him for some insider info!
Thanks again,
Rob |

Motor Coach Age did a story on Bieber in the March, 1980 issue. It had a roster that included all buses operated up to that point. Don't know of anything on buses operated after that.

I am used to seeing an odd collection of buses running on the Harrisburg-Reading line through Lebanon. Brand new Bieber MCI's, old Capital Trailways MCI's, Bieber mini-buses, etc.
Yesterday I saw one that surprised me going toward the Lebanon station. It was an ex-Capital Area Transit RTS. Name painted out but obvious by the white with orange stripes livery. |

Last month when I was at the BC Transit's BC Junction terminal in downtown Binghamton I saw a cream colored Bieber H3-41 pull in on the intercity coach side of the terminal. Also a couple of years ago in downtown Lebanon I saw a Krystal Coach body/International chassis bus approach the station. Did you happen to catch a number on the ex-CAT RTS? |

Sorry, didn't notice a number on it. If I see it again I'll have to chase it. |
