Over the holidays, I did my usual spend a day shopping in Boston, and did
some transit riding. I wish I had brought along my camera though. One
station which is very much worth a visit with a camera is Boylston on the
Green Line. There is some MOW or retired equipment there. Each side of the
station has two pieces of equipment, the outbound side has a yellow wooden
box car like vehicle, and an old PCC car. The inbound side has two different
pieces (didn't get too close a look because I didn't stop at that station).
Going outbound, I got the front seat, so got a nice view of the tunnel. I
also rode the red line, and the commuter rail. I haven't paid a lot of
attention over the years, but I think there are a few other stations which
have MOW or retired equipment (I recall some equipment at North Station).
