PHOTOS: BOSOTN GREEN LINE
Back over the July 4th Holiday I took a little trip up to Boston to ride the C, D and E Green Lines. To get there I took the very worst train on the NEC...Amtrak Train 66 aka Hell on Wheels. Just about the ONLY good thing about the trip was that at 2am Penn Station lacks its normal contingant of railfan harassing police and I was able to get a lot of very nice photos.
In Penn I got some pics of some Private Varnish on the back of the cardinal from Chicago. I also was able to get an accross the platform of original and replacement Penn Station signals.
The trip to Boston was fairly straight forward. On Saturday Subtalker Lexcie and I hit the Green Line and on Sunday we took the MTBA up to Lowell to see the industrial museum's there.
A little surprise at Lowell was a tourist trolley with one car on loan from Seashore and another GOMACO trolley that appeared to be owned by the city or park service. The Seashore car was a former New Orleans car which the City of New Orleans has been trying to buy since their existing stock got pwnd.
