I enjoy reading about socialist mass transit boondoggles, and like the "Train of Pain" and "Wham Bamm Tram" monickers.

Do you have other names for this train I can add to my list ?

LOL
Not really, I just kinda dreamed up the "Wham Bamm Tram" thingy the last time an accident was reported here on FR.

Houston, has/had a bus system the last time I was down there. Appeared to do what it was supposed to do.

Never figured out why they thought they needed a "danged ole train"
Betcha if you looked deep you will find a bunch of fat cats in the local government that made fortunes off this boondoggle

My family refers to the train as "The Grim Reaper". I have never seen one piece of equipment claim so many lives.
