I remember my mom pointing them out on trains. I was thinking that your mom might have heard Americans calling them cow catchers and thought that they were saying coo catchers. I think that they have a different name on public transportation in the US because, really, there's no cows in cities, but a lot of those service men were probably not from cities.
Philadelphia still has a handful of trolley lines, but most were replaced by trackless trolleys. The Glasgow trams are much more interesting, being double-decker, some American cities are putting in their cousins, streetcars.

dont you have double decker trains though they fascinate me...
They did when I was in Canada. Double decker trains are used on the GO Transit commuter rail that serves Greater Toronto & parts of Southern Ontario. They're enormous and they have loads of carriages. They also use them on the Paris RER commuter rail.

I've never seen double-decker trains. I doubt that Amtrak has them. Only the northeast corridor, from Boston to DC, is high speed. They're working on improving the speed from DC to Charlotte in North Carolina.

That'll OK, dizzy. Canadians and US citizens all answer to American.
