Hi Fred

In town, but to docs on Tuesday and again tomorrow concerning knee problems. 
  It's no fun getting old!

Try "lightrail" and see what your search engine turns up.  Two sites - one 
in Holland which is commercial, and one in US with interesting links.  Looks 
like Minneapolis (Howard would be interested), Charlotte  and Phoenix will 
be next with light rail.  Also, FTA has website with News Releases, plus 
some documents,  for those with an interest beyond the past.  I think we 
both fall within that category.

Concerning "railspot.com" , traction list, about ready to unsubscribe.  Too 
much discussion about models.  Wonder if we can interest Derrick into 
starting a current day light rail discussion group for those interested in 
12" to the foot.

Back to the FTA website to see what leads I can find to current projects.

Best wishes

John

p.s.  Memory of the Hague in 1969 was that operators knew only two operating 
conditions.  Full power and full braking.
