I met George and Dave when I was out transit-fanning and they’re both so friendly and nice!

Good job guys for being so thorough and taking detailed photos and street scenes! Some day someone will ask if there’s a photo of a particular bus because there was something unique about it or that some bus had a particular paint scheme for only a short time, etc., and guess where they’ll find the photos to research it? I have taken several thousand photos of Toronto buses (mostly GMs) but they’re almost either prints (mostly 1990s) or slides (2000s) so they’re not as accessible as these photos. Great article and positive too.

Given all these Edmonton comments, does anyone else find it very ironic that I’m wearing an ETS toque in all those photos…?

Excellent article. It’s nice to see the transit hobby being portrayed in a positive light. I’m happy that the City of Vancouver chose to be progressive and retain it’s trolley system. Shame on Edmonton. Kudos to Chris. David, and George for all your hard work and dedication to the hobby. Your photos will be enjoyed by many generations to come.

Awesome article. Ironically enough I’ve actually met these guys and every once in a while i do join up with them to take pictures. But as James said, we do a bit of history and keep track of it. Cause who knows in 40 years the difference will be big.

Again, kudos to translink for keeping their trolley system running for over 60 years.

Hey hey, now. Let’s not get down on our kindred transit spirits in Edmonton. Each system needs to make decisions they feel best serve its own system, although I know you feel strongly about this one.

But thanks for the comment on the article, really. It was lovely to talk to David, Chris and George and I’m really impressed by their body of work and enthusiasm for transit!

What a great article. I have been online transit fan aquantences of these gentlemen for quite a while. What we do is really keeping history alive. Just think if no one took pictures or wrote articles of what happened 60 years ago or even hundreds of years ago, we wouldnt be able to teach how we have developed as a society. Nice to have these articles out in public.

Congratulations to Translink/City of Vancouver for having the brains to retain and expand their trolleybus system. Something many of the braindead officials in Edmonton can’t see the major benefits to contribute to a successful system.
