The national Electric Railroaders' Association and the volunteer staff of its magazine "Headlights" have been doing a magnificent job while trying to catch up with the production of issues. Today, March 9, 2010, a 74-page issue of Headlights arrived, dated July-December 2005.

It is a wondrous collection of photos and commentary assembled by Edward Ridolph and staff, under the title "Rails to Rubber to Rails Again." In the 1950's, I would never have thought that I would ride fast "trolley" lines in Bayonne, San Diego, or Sacramento. Many of the old photos are in color, including the cover showing a PCC about to cross double-tracked Baltimore & Ohio at the McKeesport station. And the next page has the LVT!
-----
Cities included are: Lincoln, Omaha, Atlantic City, PSCT, Albany, Buffalo, New York, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and many more, including 21st-Century photos where now running. I think an earlier issue of Headlights had other cities.

Many thanks to the photographers, writers, and editors for a superb job!
