Vic mate you are right, I know very well what subway cars are and I am yanking your leash. What i am trying to do is to impress on us all that this is an international forum and what is commomn knowledge in one place may be unknown oer even mean something completely different in other countries. <br /> <br />We call them trams and this is a point of much derision, Australia has only two super cities in this huge country and one of them (Melbourne) just loves their trams. The other Sydney got rid of them from about 1960 on, and I can tell you getting rid of them in Sydney was like getting out of gaol (jail). They now have reintroduced trams disguised as light rail and they are ok as a novelty item. <br /> <br />An interesting anecdote here, I have actually been to New York both the city and the city and the state and I was most impressed with the light rail running out along Long Island. Years later I was chatting up an American lady in a bar in Florence (Italy), she was from long Island and i mentioned said light rail and she denied it existed and reckoned I had never been to Long Island. Fortunately some one standing nearby was also from New York and convinced her I was right. <br /> <br />So the moral of this story is, if you are chatting up a lady never win an argument. <br /> <br /> <br />Rgds Ian
