MBTA Green Line Heath Street Branch Ride

A ride down the E Heath St. branch of the mbta green line in an empty type "7.5" trolley. This line is interesting because it runs in the streets with the cars for part of the trip

Yes, your right, but the SLRV's are both 34## and 35## (There were a total of 144 SLRV's total number 3400 - 3543)

Great stuff, love the automated announcements on the Green line.

if they have route 39 bus running on the branch to abroadway then why bother operating the E train at the same time? it a waste of money

[heidisbit34]

I dont use the streetcar I use the bus that goes all the way to Forest Hills

I hope they never bring the trolley back to Arborway. It was the slowest most over crowded branch they had.

I wish the section closed in 1985 would reopen.

@CircusFreakGRITZ My question is: What happens if you don't exit THE TRAIN at a final stop at a place like Alewife or Forest Hills. The train leaves the "Exit Only" platform and you are still on board. Does the operator walk through the train to make sure the train is empty. If thats what he/she does, then what would they say to you when they saw you were still on the train?

The ol' Green Line, rollin' up Huntington Ave. Ahhhh, I remember it well!!!

[planetX15]

[chetirepyat]

Pretty flashy intro. But you spelled "productions" wrong.

[2001rtm]

@CircusFreakGRITZ No, I mean like at Alewife or Bowdoin, or somwhere not on the green line.
