The route map in BB#24 is for Burlington Trailways. The date is not given,
but the routes suggest the postwar period. The route to Great Falls was a
connecting line as were all MN connections. There's another map on page 42
that's dated 1946, and it covers "Burlington Bus Lines and Subsidiaries".
The second map shows a route to Billings, with a connecting line to Great
Falls.
To further correct and amend the information below:
MN - connecting lines only
MT - Billings, Laurel, and connecting lines
WY - Deaver, Casper, Cheyenne, Laramie, Rawlings, Rock Springs, Green River
Evanston, and other towns along those routes
CO - List below is correct, plus there are other towns I didn't list
Burlington Trailways also ran in South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois,
Missouri, Utah, Nevada, and California.

Subject: [CBQ] Re: Burlington bus
Clarification, please. Are you saying that Burlington buses, or Burlington
Trailways buses, operated into Great Falls, Montana?
If so, when? Not saying it never happened, but this is the first that I
have heard of it, and I grew up in Great Falls.
Most of the other places listed for Montana MAY have been served by NPT
buses, but, again, not likely by Burlington buses.
Thanks for clarifying.
