Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) 3268 goes through the reverse loop at the Mattapan station near Boston, MA on Tuesday, June 4, 2024. The Ashmont–Mattapan High-Speed Line, commonly called the Mattapan Trolley line, is at the end red line between Ashmont and Mattapan stations. According to Wikipedia, unlike most heritage streetcar lines, it is an integral part of the modern MBTA transit system rather than a tourist attraction. A rebuild of the line for modern light rail vehicles is planned.
MBTA 3268 is a PCC car. The current set of MBTA PCC cars are "Wartime" PCCs, built by Pullman-Standard in 1945–46. They have been in continuous revenue service in Boston since their construction, although PCC cars were not assigned to the Mattapan Line until 1955.
