This line is really worth checking out if you are in the Boston area.  Except for replaced seats and added AC, quite authentic. Eight members of our model railroad club made an excursion from Connecticut to ride the Mattapan line a couple weeks ago, and everyone agreed it was terrific.  The motorman gave great commentary, and the other passengers were very friendly and welcoming as well. Museum rides ar fine, but just knowing that this was regular transit service made it much more memorable.

I was in school in Boston around 1960, and regularly rode the PCC cars on the Boston College line.  They were great.  Also, they could out accelerate my Studebaker Commander 6.

FWIW, at the end of the Watertown line was a car barn, which had several antique trolleys converted to plows.  They could really HUMMMMMM when running.
