Veteran photographer and ERA speaker Andrew Ludasi returns with a panorama of unique photos and videos. He continues his domestic and world travels, this past December attending the ATTS (Associazione Torinese Tram Storici = Torinese Friend of Historic Trams) conference which concluded with a historic tram parade of about 20 vehicles. His presentation includes a brief showing of other developments in Milano, Lyon, Paris, and more recently in 2026, Montreal, Toronto, and on the South Shore in Indiana. The show will conclude with a short set of historic non-electric surprises for the semiquincentennial.

Andrew Ludasi is a longtime member of ERA. Four years ago he retired from full time work as a transportation engineer but continues to consult currently on projects including the upcoming NJ Freight Plan 2027 update and to make New Jersey's rail GIS network accessible via a user friendly web interface.

This is a program not to be missed.
