Back when trains were trains and Joe Pa was assistant coach to Rip Engle, students relied on Fullington Bus lines to drop them off at either Lewistown or Altoona. I recall the round trip fare to Altoona was $3.00 in 1966. Fullington picked up in front of the Corner Room Restaurant.. If you didn't have enough for the train you could rely on Greyhound to Allentown, Philly and Pittsburgh .The Greyhound Bus station occupied the old Bellfonte Central Depot on West Atherton Street. In addition Edwards Lakes to Sea bus lines provided service to Erie, Williamsport and Allentown. <br />This was all before Interstate 80 or a four lane 322. <br />tom biery PSU BLOG '70
