Transportation Communications Newsletter


Tuesday, January 18, 2022 - Cranford, New Jersey


**Bernie’s Notes**

One of the more popular features in the TCN is the Friday Bonus where I highlight some unusual aspect of the transportation world. I thought I’d introduce something new along those same lines. Every Tuesday I’ll feature a transportation superlative (i.e., biggest, longest, oldest) or something outside the norm. Think of it as a cross between the Guinness Book of World Records and Ripley’s Believe It or Not for the transportation world. Check below for this week’s first version.
