Boston rail mix. Trolleys, trolley buses, subways, and those damn Garfield’s. Too too many. 1/19/22

- I say Garfield’s because the front of those ubiquitous HSP46 junk heaps look like Garfield the Cat. Big bulging eyes and protruding stomach.

For trolley fans, there's a terrific trolley museum (with a working track/trolleys) in Kennebunk Maine. A great way to spend a summer day.
Beautiful!! You made my day and brought back many memories of my youth. I'm from Philadelphia and rode these "bullet" trolleys. Our longest route was the 23 line from south Philly to Chestnut Hill, just northwest of the city. I lived 2 blocks from the 60 line from Port Richmond to 35th & Allegheny Ave. I got a kick of stepping down when the trolley stopped and the doors automatically opened. Thanks again..
Great video! I used to ride the trolleys back in the late 60s when I was attending Boston College. Cost a quarter if I recall correctly.
Oh yes! Welcome back to Massachusetts, you should come back when the CapeFlyer runs down to cape cod. You’ll also be able to see 2 EX Metro north FL9’s in NH paint numbered 2011 and 2026
Thanks for taking us somewhere different and showing us something new. Those charming old trolleys are truly a piece of the past. I can see why the locals cherish them.
As a Baltimore citizen, I've been to the local trolley club location. A certain time of the year, members can operate a PCC on the private rail line for about 1/2 mile. BTW the gauge was widened to 5 ft. so locomotives couldn't use the rails in the city. So anytime the club gets another trolley, the wheel axles have to be resized to fit.
Re-living a fun vacation vicariously through your videos. JFK/UMass was our 'home' station as our hotel was slightly over a block away, and we rode the Red Line into the downtown area daily. I also had a chance to do an afternoon of railfanning that included riding the Mattapan-Ashmont line. Thanks for bringing back great memories!
Went to BU in early 2000s and then lived in boston for a few yrs after. Thanks for bringing back awesome memories of riding the T!
Those Orange Trams certainly look and work well given they're at least 70 years old.
The Mattapan Line was originally a Boston & Albany line. The hiking trail that partially parallels it was a New Haven line which was probably an Old Colony line originally. Anyway, another fine video.
Seeing an F40 on the south side is something to celebrate at this point!
Great video. Love the trolley, so much history. Your vast knowledge of railroading is amazing. Thank you.
I rode those trolleys when I lived in Boston and Cambridge back in the late 60s 🙂
The “pan” in Mattapan is emphasized. Otherwise people know “you’re not from around here…”
I take those to get home from school they are truly a piece of history
Our Toronto PCCs never had doors on the left side as they were all street running; I have fond memories of them. These PCCs accelerate like mad !
In Milan We called this TRAM...the city of Milan some years ago sell to the city of San Francisco some tram built in 1930 ca. Very nice video as always. Thank You Tim !!
Great to see PCCs in service. Rode them as a kid on the Shaker Heights line in Cleveland. We have a few awaiting some TLC at the Northern Ohio Railway Museum.
Thank you for the memories! I'm from the Boston area, and rode the "T" Red Line in the early 70's from what was then the southern terminus, Quincy Center, to Park Street on my way to college. Back then, Harvard was the northern terminus before the extension to Alewife was constructed. Red Line cars back then had forward-facing seating in a two-by-two configuration.
The rather interesting architecture was the baker chocolate factory that got supplies by train that ran along the bike trail you see
