Lots and lots of articles....
Have the recent postings of vast numbers of articles changed the nature of this forum? I for one tend to become less curious/interested when encountering numerous articles posted en mass. No doubt that many of them are of great value. However, It is the deluge that is daunting and may in turn inhibit the back and forth we are accustomed to.
I believe that's true. There are gems among the dross. I thank David and others for filling an important function with these offerings . . .
(For a relaxing pastime on the screen, try some of the many cab-view tram and train rides available on YouTube. Austria is particularly beautiful in the fall, and don't miss the hinky ancient trams of Buenos Aires !)

Something made me go looking for tram videos. I found a whole world of train rides. My dad was a rail fan; now I wish he was here so I could ask him about what I'm seeing. In the meantime I'm getting a look at landscapes of a wide variety.
Most European lines are electrified -- hundreds of miles of catenary overhead. I started in Berlin. I've seen the route east from San Diego through the Mexican badlands, and Canada, and Norway, Spain, Slovenia, Bulgaria; logging in the woods of Russia; Belgium, Switzerland, and Scotland.
I love the way urban rail morphs into intercity transit, how many urban lines move from the roadway to an avenue parallel, with grass and trees, veering off into the woods, and eventually crossing farmland and skirting or penetrating villages, fully integrated into the landscape.
