That plant that Pullman had in Worcester,was the Osgood Bradley Works! It also produced the PCC'S still running in Boston,on the Red Line,to Mattapan! That taking down of the TB Lines will be regretted later! Thank you for the interesting history,and there is,a never say die,attitude there! Thank you 😇 😊!
In the Netherlands there is still a trolleybus system in the town of Arnhem. It is unique in the Netherlands as the only trolleybus system still operating in that country. It opened on 5 September 1949. I once asked a driver why only Arnhem has a trolley, and his answer was that in WW2 the Germans had taken away all the tram rails, but left the overhead wiring, so building a trolley system was relatively easy.... I don't know if this is true, but it sounds plausible....
Greetings from Chile, Jeffrey. Allen Morrison, a new yorker like you, wrote several articles and books on chilean transport, and set the foundations to newer transport fans like me and other friends. Thank you very much for the video 😊
Hello! Thank you for watching from Chile and for your comment! I am happy you liked my video. The story of the Valparaiso trolleybuses is an important one and needs to be told for many people to know!
Properly cared for a trackless trolley's controls and motors will last a long time. There's an older Milwaukee trackless trolley at the Illinois Railway Museum now having money raised for body restoration, but it was able to roll out to the dedication ceremony for another trackless trolley using its motors and poles. Those Pullmans bring back memories, Milwaukee ran over fifty that look a lot like those. Thanks for the story.
That's how the newest trolleybuses operate in Dayton, OH. They can go off wire a fare distance before having to recharge again from the dual overhead wires.
Sydney had two separate ones that came and went. One from the city centre to Kings Cross and Potts Point, and the Kogarah system down south, both gone by the late 50s. Wellington in New Zealand and Edmonton Canada are two other examples of relatively recent closures. Good to see one example of a resurrection, however quick!
Boston, USA has recently done away with their last trolleybus line. To be replaced with electric buses. I expect the other few US cities that still have them to do the same, within a few years. Thanks for watching!!
OH MY GOSH! I have the book 'Streets of Cardiff' and there's two color photos of 262! Both exterior and interior. The caption does say that the bus has been preserved! It's a beauty!@@ladyconstanceOBE
I have been involved with 262 since 1968.. 243 is a single decker. Both of them were very badly damaged in an accidental fire in 2019 but they are nearly restored now.
I love your post and I have few suggestions. Don't pronounce the Spanish names unless you do it correctly. You sound ridiculous. Just say the translated versions.

Thank you for watching and for your comment! Very interesting about the Pullman plant!
I own a 1947 Pullman trackless trolley from Dayton, Ohio.
That's great! Wish I owned one, LOL! Thank you for watching and for your comment!

Thank you for watching and for your comment! That sounds like an interesting story about Arnhem! Maybe an idea for a future video...

The way trolleybuses may return is as a charging mechanism for battery-electric buses. You can charge a bus while it’s moving passengers.
Possibly....let's hope so! Thank you for watching and for your comment!

The Trolebuses de Chile Company was awarded the operation of 4 routes with new electric buses, which will begin operating in July of this year
Hello! Thank you for watching and your comment! It's great to hear that there will be new electric bus routes in Chile!
I have the 1:72 scale mode of the Pullman Chilean trolleybus
Awesome, Glenn...wish I had one! Thank you for watching and for your comment!
I remember when Boston had a fleet of Pullman-Standard trackless trolleys that were very similar to these, which ran until about 1976 -1977.
Yes! I know I've seen pictures of them. Probably a 'standard' model. Thank you for watching and for your comment!
There is video of this operation a few years ago on my channel.
Awesome! I have to check it out! Thank you for watching and for your comment!

I part own two trolleybuses from Cardiff Wales(Not part of England). One is 75 years old. 🏴🚎
Wow, I wish I can own a trolleybus, too! Thank you for watching and for your comment!
There my be photos of my trolleybuses in the British Trolleybuses book you have, they are numbers 243 and 262.

I forgot to mention that my long time friend wrote 'Streets of Cardiff'.

Ok, duly noted. Will try to remember that next time! Thank you for watching and for your comment!
