The only one I have seen is of Brighton Center, and its just the tracks and wires, busses were already running.

Thanks

Here are some photos that I quickly found online:

This picture is actually mislabeled on the website. Notice the "Newtonville" sign in the picture on the left. This is a '46 all-electric in Newton Corner. We're looking down Galen Street towards Watertown, with Washington St turning to the left. This is the crazy rotary intersection around exit 17 off the Mass pike today. From 1965:

There's a few other misc. pictures of the Watertown yard on that site too, but that's a good start.
