Fred - keep them coming, I really enjoyed the Hudson Bergen line as I lived in that area right out of
college, what seems unique to me, seems like a 21st century Trolley Line,  need to go up and visit
relatives and take a ride,  Keep the videos and all your great right ups coming (others on group too
this "olefart" enjoys it all.  Thanks
