.....kind of hard to believe, that, after so many years of faithful service, Golden Eagles and Silver Eagles no longer are a part of intercity bus travel.....even Continental Trailways itself has long since vanished...... :( A great and colorful era of American bus travel has been relegated forever to the history books..... :(
