    Looks like Oz again. See how the Yobbos think it's all very amusing.

    Pretty girls and Bobbers. Front guards can be helpful though.

    Hello,

    The one fun, exciting thing we learned by accident was when we were in our dad’s car going down a main street in Long Beach or Los Angeles, the red car trains also ran on the same streets. Overhead were miles of electrical lines and at intersections, curved, crossed and connected to the next street or thoroughfare.

    But, at night, or in a light rain, one could see the sparks when the roller connections hit a cross road connection, way high up over the red cars. (and us, below)


    The photo shows the maintenance worker cleaning the crisscross connections, to keep the muck that gathers there and perhaps not making the best connection for the electricity for the red car trains.

    We never saw those guys during the day, but after the rush hour time period when the amount of cars was a lot lower and there was time to spray whatever it was to clean the connections. If one is near the spraying , the wind usually floated the solution onto surrounding cars and whatever. YRMV
