Note that the names of the London routes are not particularly geographic. They are also unique to London and of local significance. They can live forever and expand to include extensions. They are also known internationally. I certainly don't remember the color names of lines in any city except the ...

There are many sources for detailed electric railway maps in New England. Massachusetts required a form of valuation map and the Boston Elevated went far beyond, mapping their system from time to time. Seashore's library published an atlas of Maine electric lines. It is a combination of track plans ...

All I could find is this #1drawing. It was once 1/12 size but, someone reduced it and now though proportional,
it really is without dimensions. I have never had a plan for a #3 nor did ORC. There are plenty of photos

All this stuff is on the internet. Look for MBTA ridership statistics, The MBTA Blue Book, and other sources. The official annual ridership for MBTA commuter rail in 2013 was 35,323,276. this is probably within 2-3% of the actual total (either way). This does not include the about 42000 weekday pass...

The last move was via Blue hill Ave. It was a couple of years too late for Cummins Hwy.
I think it was on Memorial day. The last car out was either 5800 or 5803 and our

I've never seen them though.

The actual car is similar to our All-Electrics. They never had wings and had a color scheme that
included orange above

I think you should all remember that El Paso is building a line which will use re-equipped PCCs and, San Diego has received some for downtown operation. There are many PCCs operating in San Francisco, mostly second hand in the last few years. A main route in Philadelphia was recently re-opened using...

It took me a long time to find the pictures but, here is a more likely wreck.
This one was back in 1907 when heels were a more likely cargo.
Also, the cars seem to have shed their contents more thoroughly.
