Light Rail Now! NewsLog
After an 18-month makeover, Boston's venerable High Speed trolley line connecting the southern suburbs of Mattapan and Ashmont re-opened for public service on December 22nd. Boston's Mattapan-Ashmont trolley line and the 15-Girard line in Philadelphia are the last "legacy" US light rail transit (LRT) lines still operating Art Deco-era PCC streetcars in regular scheduled service. (The Presidents Conference Committee or PCC car – see photo further below – was the high-performance streetcar designed by a committee established by transit company top managers in the 1930s, and subsequently licensed to a number of streetcar manufacturers in the USA and abroad, where they were produced in the thousands, mainly in the 1940s and 1950s. Today, PCCs are also operated on San Francisco's F-Line, and in Kenosha, Wisconsin, but these are more recently installed heritage streetcar systems.) Communities surrounding the Mattapan-Ashmont route have been clamoring for restortion of the rail service.
