BOSTON HEAVY RAIL
Ashmont, Trolley Above |
|
|
|
Ashmont is unique to the Boston system in that
beyond the end of the route, a short light rail line serves as an
extension to the subway. The Mattapan High Speed Line goes
about two and one half miles further out. Both the Red Line
and its extension utilize the right of way of a long-abandoned branch
of the New Haven
Railroad.
In this view, an old PCC trolley has just left for its outbound run. Down below, beyond the last stop,
the train in the distance has switched onto the
inbound track, and will soon arrive to pick up passengers for the
run back to Alewife. |
