I feel positive. In real life, I'm a mass transit operator!

In the early 20th century, my county here in the USA was establishing a county wide trolley system. The trolley's was powered by an overhead wire but in certain areas, no overhead wires were available so they ran on a battery system. Hey, back then it probably was Nickel Iron Batteries but they got it to work.
