  • The new Brookville Liberty streetcars that have been running in four American cities — Dallas, Detroit, Milwaukee and Oklahoma City
  • Union Pacific “Big Boy” 4014’s trips in 2019 to Ogden, Utah for the Golden Spike 150th Anniversary in May
  • Action in Iowa in July/August
  • Action in Arkansas in November
  • A show on Prague trams, from visits Peter made in 2018 and 2019
  • If time permits, a visit to the new El Paso, Texas revival of PCC streetcar services
