| (...) Note that even with the wide swing they still loose contact between the trolley poles and the electricity. Actually I have seen this quite often, usually the bus just costs to the side of the street and the driver gets out and there is a wheel (...) (24 years ago, 2-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) So's Rainman... what's your point? :-) I dunno if it's actually true though. I haven't met a Boston driver I couldn't beat through a squeezedown (think the merges on old I 93 coming into downtown, or the merge shuffle to get to the callahan (...)
