[PRCo] Fwd: YouTube - Electric Traction Therapy

[Schneider Fred]

 From Fred Schneider to all of you.  These YouTube clips came to me  
from from Pete Folger, a Maine bus driver.
Some I know you have seen.   Many are European and may not be of  
interest.

But the most fantastic of all is the one titled India Super  
Trolleys ... it is about five minutes worth of the Indiana Railroad  
in 1939-1941.   Some absolutely great footage and even some color of  
those high speed interurbans batting out mile-a-minute speeds.     If  
you don't look at any others clips, look at that one.

You you like them, feel free to tell Peter I forwarded them to you  
and that you liked them.
