Lots of good info and photos for sure but too bad this series of books isn't in a larger format with darker print. My vision isn't great and have to use a magnifying glass to read them.

Too bad such a short life for the Green Hornet. It was a good looking train.

I liked all of the Chicago PCC's. They were distinctive for their length and door layouts. Also, the pre-PCC Brill and St. Louis demonstrators were interesting. Let's see, did both Chicago and Wash ...
