Boston Subway

The Green Line is made up of 5 lines serving central Boston on N. America's oldest subway. Four of the lines operate as traditional streetcar lines outside of the subway. The Riverside line operates on an old Steam railroad right-of-way converted in the 1950's. This line is often called the first light rail line in the US before the phrase was even coined.

There is also another light rail line. The Ashmont-Mattapan High Speed Line. It is considered a branch of the Red line metro. It utilizes 11 PCC cars built in 1945/46, 3 of which have been meticulously restored . Now that Newark has retired their PCC's, Boston now has the only PCC's left in regular transit service (San Francisco and Kenosha WI both run PCC's but are considered tourist lines)
