I rode the tubes in Boston a few times as a kid. Took a train
to get there known as a Budd Liner. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budd_Rail_Diesel_Car You can keep the subways, filthy & stink if piss. At the turn of the century even small towns often had trolleys. I grew up in a small yankee town without much shopping & it was a "dry" town. Next town over was a mill town with a big down town. A trolley ran between them. Whole families would go on Saterdays. The wife & kids went shopping & the men poured into the bars. Some of the bars were favorite haunts for Babe Ruth. My grandfather said " he had a thirst that could cast a shadow". Babe had a lakeside place in nearby Stow. Only other odd transportation I had was the Cog RR. http://www.nhptv.org/cog/ They were still running steam then. 73 Zeno ![]() LFOD ! |
