MOSCOW TROLLEYBUS FESTIVAL
Posted by daveklepper on Friday, November 29, 2013 4:33 AM

www.streetcars.org (for Market Street Railway Association) has, via its home page, a link to a photo story on the Vintage Trolleybus festival that was held in Moscow this past Saturday.   I found it of interest.

Dave, this misspelling trend really does need to stop...  ;-}    But thanks for the heads-up!

The site is www.streetcar.org (if you want to avoid the frustration of an offer to 'buy this domain') and the direct link to the Russian video material is here. (Note that this is an rt.com link and you may want enhanced spam blocking or spyware protection enabled...

As far as I know, they have not taught their children to grow up and become "heroes" by flying planes into buildings.   But I am interested in and support rail progress, and light rail progress, in all countries, regardless of whom they currently label as the "Big Satan" and the "Little Satan."  Regimes can change for the better.

OK Dave, I get ya brother.  Just incase you haven't guessed, and I'm sure you have, my tongue's planted so far into my cheek the bulge is tickling my left ear lobe.

Now just WHERE did I leave that clip for my M-1?
