A Ride on the Green Line in 1979

[@BenHughes81]

Oh wow! I wasn't born yet, and had no idea PCCs were still in use in 1979. I do remember there being tracks and overhead wires on Cambridge St outside St Elizabeth's Hospital around 1987 or 1988. Only once did I ever see a streetcar running on those tracks around that time. It might have been a PCC, but don't fully remember. I also remember seeing PCC bodies sitting on sawhorses with the wheel assemblies missing outside of what I think was Watertown Yard around that timeframe as well.

They were in use on the green line right up until the end of 1985 when the arborway line closed. I was born in 77 and stayed in Newton so I remember them on the subway but I don’t know if I got to ride one then.

Probably ran better back then

That Boeing fleet on the green line was unreliable

The LRVs at the end using trolley poles instead of pantographs. Before the OLE was compatible

The Boeing LRV's looked different before 1996-1997 Overhaul

[@PneumonicDevices]

Only thing that changed is now all the passengers wear airpods and stare at their phones 🤷‍♀
