For lack of a better description,  It's  Just  A  Bug  That  Bites  --  
A  'Pleasant'  Virus!       I was told that I went absolutely bananas as 
a baby every time we got near a TrolleyCar so I assume I am a RailFan 
since birth!       It's  A  Hobby    ----    totally unrelated to spare 
time except that the Hobby is what Fills Spare Time.       Boris has 
materially contributed to  CZ  books on the Tatra PCC so he has a real 
purpose in his pursuits.       His  Occupation // Career  truly  
embodies  his  Personal  Interests;  seems  Most // ALL  Career  
Counselors  recommend  this  combination.

It's the  Trolley Pole,  Overhead,  Trucks,  and  Track  Work  that  
just  Absolutely  Fascinate  Me!       I have learned  Much  from 
observation of PRCo in this regard and am unmercifully lambasted about 
same when I share it here on this list    ----    silence here is 
absolutely  Deafening  when that info is verified  --  which happens 
often!!! <VVBG!>
.
I  Personally  Have  Learned   MUCHO   from what Boris has shared on 
Trucks and all aspects PCC    ----    Even  Pittsburgh  and  
Pittsburgh__Railways__Company__(PRCo)    ----    probably as much or 
more than I have learned from  All  Other  Sources  Combined!
.
PCC    ----    Researched,  Developed,  Built,  Upgraded  in the  
U.S.A.  to an  Highly  Successful  TrolleyCar.       Production 
Overseas  500%  to  1,000%  greater  than  in  U.S.A.    ----    
something  done  right  here!       Well___Worth___Studying!
