Spokane City Lines

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spokane City Lines (SCL) was a mass transit company that operated in Spokane, Washington, United States, from 1945 until 1972.

History

[edit]

In June 1945, the sale of Spokane United Railways was announced. As a subsidiary of Washington Water Power, the transit operation would be sold to Pacific City Lines for $850,000 and operate as a new company to be known as Spokane City Lines.[1] Several days later, articles of incorporation were filed for the new transit company.[2] Following state approval, the new company began operations on July 7, 1945.[3]
