I rode the tubes in Boston a few times as a kid. Took a train
to get there known as a Budd Liner.

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.

They were still running steam then.
