Graves Truck Line

Here is a picture from a magazine showing a Graves Freightliner with the Kansas plains in the background. The picture is from 1978. They were converting to a FL COE fleet when ANR took them over. Then ANR followed suit and bought FL COEs for Garrett and ATL as well
	Here is a couple photos from the inside of the "Logo" magazine showing a mixture of equipment in two paint schemes they ran in a Kansas City parade. The Kenworth conventional were used to pull turnpike doubles in the late 70's. They remained in the ANR fleet until about 1990 and were used between Denver and Salina, KS as well.

Here is a Graves Kenworth from their 1973 annual report. This Kenworth could be the same KW and lead trailer as in the turnpike doubles photo.

Here is a drawing of the Kenworth conventional made from a photo.		Graves Truck Line Kenworth pulling a set of Turnpike Doubles.
