Yes, I don't think that old 30' bus is running anymore either. Here's a roster I found, which still doesn't answer your question:

County Of Lackawanna Transit System

You know, of my more than 20 years of living in Lackawanna County, I only sort of remember riding COLTS once. One time. It's no NYC, I can tell ya that.

--------------------

You're welcome. Here are all the lyrics:

CHAPTER 11 CHOO-CHOO

A mirthful farewell to Steamtown

Sung to the tune of "Chattanooga Choo-Choo"

Pardon me boys... Is that the Chapter 11 Choo-Choo?
Two million in debt... It may come back, but don't bet.
Who can afford... To board the Chapter 11 Choo-Choo?
Oh, you pay twenty bucks... Get bounced around like a truck...

(First Chorus)

You leave the Lackawanna Station 'round a quarter to four...
Go through DeNaples' junkyard, then you don't see no more...
Diesel power's finer...this ain't no Metroliner
Woo-Woo Chapter Eleven here you are!

I'm gonna meet... A certain party at the courthouse...
Bankruptcy judge... Hope he don't hold a grudge...
We had it made... 'Til we couldn't pay our phone bill...
Oh woe, what a mess... She's all yours, N.P.S.

(Second Chorus)

When the engineer is drinkin' at the Phoebe Snow Bar...
Then you know that bankruptcy is not very far...
They brought it down from up north...
Thought the money'd come forth...
But Woo-Woo Chapter Eleven here you are!

Tell me my boy, is that the Moscow Bridge a-cumblin,
All over them cars, thank G-d they’re not ours.
Now ain’t it a shame, we lost the Chapter 11 Choo Choo,
We’ll miss the old whistle call, let’s hope we don’t lose the mall.

(repeat First Chorus)


Daniels & Webster, mornings
Performed by Jonesy & Roger
Written by "The Scrantones"
