Presenting This Month: Jeffrey Erlitz

Last fall, your Bulletin Editor-in-Chief traveled to Scandinavia for the first time. With the exception of three nights spent in Gothenburg, Sweden, Jeff and his wife stayed in Copenhagen, Denmark and took day trips to other nearby locations. In Copenhagen we’ll take a look the commuter rail and metro systems. The new light rail systems in Odense, Denmark and Lund, Sweden will be visited, as well as the heritage tramway operation in Malmö, Sweden. The extensive tramway system in Gothenburg, Sweden will be visited, too. There will even be some marine operations seen, in Copenhagen, as well as a few electric buses. We will even take a look at the new Copenhagen Letbane (Light Rail), which is under construction.
