As a child to go on the top deck and get the front window seat made you feel king of the world. De Caprio, eat your heart out : ) In response to your links, on my facebook page I've posted another picture of old old trams outside the Black Bull inn nr where I lived.

Only back then they were electric trolley busses. Every so often their poles would pop off the wires and the driver would have to get out and reattach them. (Always an adventure during a thunderstorm.)<br /><br />Here's a little video of how they looked.<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14J6H2NPP3Q<br /><br />And here's a closer shot of one.<br />http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/99/Chicago_St_Louis_Car-built_trolley_bus_9400_in_1968.jpgMaria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.com
