Happy, Happy, Happy – Palmetto Traction

OK, it probably takes a real geek of some sort to appreciate this. Maybe a train geek or a book junky or … whatever I am. I just got, for a ridiculously good price, a book I have been looking for forever.Palmetto Traction
Palmetto traction: Electric railways of South Carolinair?t=&l=as2&o=1&a=B0006CZOSK by Thomas Fetters is the only real book on trolleys used in South Carolina. More importantly to me, it covers the use of trolleys in Charleston. He also wrote a book on the Piedmont and Northern Railway which was in the upper part of the state and North Carolina. (Piedmont and Northern;: The great electric system of the Southir?t=&l=as2&o=1&a=0870950517) That was a more major line, and although they started off electric did eventually go diesel like everyone else. A great book, but it doesn’t cover the subject that I want and that Palmetto Traction does, trolleys and streetcars in Charleston.

So anyway, just being happy that I got my book. I ordered it, crossed my fingers, and it came in quickly and better than originally described. I am a happy, happy boy.
