*my TOP 20 list, on a matter of transportation

Transportation is my chief interest. I was born and raised in Odessa, Ukraine living next to a tram line. Due to this feature being 3-year-old I started to learn some of the visible and audible feature of this form of transportation. There line, which was next to our home was and now is used by 2 routes, and yard moves for 3 more routes, since a tram depot was and is located just in 3 stops from our home. Now this depot houses service trams only. But since I let in 1992 the setting where I lived in  is a good beginning for every tram fans. 

Well, among the Odessa Tramfans there is absolutely None of my neighbors.

Just opposite, some of  were born and raised very far from trams. Maybe they just liked the trams when they saw it the first time. This fact also indicated that in order to be railfan, you have to possess this way of transportation.

Well, the trams which are regular to me and were regular in that times are Czech-Made Tatra-T3 trams. However, trams other then these, especially ones which never appeared in Odessa, are specially interesting to me.

Yes I am, such a mad one for whom the question "what kind of trams are there is a city or country,  is important in making a decision whether to go or not to go in some city Overseas.And now very glad to any chance to use rail transport, both in USA where I live now, and in Europe where I appear from time to time.
