Company History: The StLPSCo. was the result of the 1927 reorganization of United Railways. The streetcar network was already down from their high of 300 miles of line in the greater St. Louis, Missouri area. In 1939, the company was acquired by National City Lines who was buying streetcar lines around the nation and gradually converting them to bus service. In 1963, with StLPSCo. PCC cars still working a handful of routes, National City Lines sold the company to the Bi-State Development Agency. The last streetcar routes were replaced with bus service just three years later.
