You're right. The tram systems in Switzerland, but also in cities like Munich or Prague are fascinating.

I rode on the old scool train on Saturday with my wives two brothers. It is the Austin steam train association. A fun time. The cars included a concession and gift shop.

Seen today in Tübingen. The locomotive is relatively new, the coaches are approximately 50 years old, but with a new livery reminiscent of the former British Rail.

The National Transportation Museum in Ottawa Canada has some truly MASSIVE locomotives on display. I'm 6'4" (or was, anyway), and the wheels on some of them are taller than I am.

VERY impressive.
