On this day in 2012, I took a ride on Boston's Mattapan-Ashmont High Speed Line.

This is an isolated 4.1km tram line, operating on fully reserved track between Ashmont subway station and the suburb of Mattapan. The line is served by a fleet of 6 refurbished PCC Cars built in 1945 & 1946.

@timrichards @the_rail_life They are going to replace the PCC trolleys with Type 9 light rail vehicles:
