Thanks for these details!I have the Mainline el, Headlights issue. It includes plans and diagrams of Sullivan Sq. I'm pretty sure the lower level trolley loop you mention, is included in these plans. I did not know (or remember) that the shops had a lower level to service the trolley cars. I will have to go back and review plans for pre and post 1912 layout. The el shop buildings, at least one of the loops, and storage layup tracks were still there in the 70s when I first began riding the orange line (I took one or two b & w photos of it, on the northern section's last day of of service) (photos, like my other stuff, packed away in storage) The through tracks to Everett, were the outer two tracks next to the storage tracks south of the shops. The train made a sharp right turn northeast out of S. Sq. and then entered the outbound track. The speed was very slow over this section of tracks. I was told why, by someone up in Boston, but I don't remember specifics right now. Did you ride both sections of the original Orange line before the el's closure? (1985 I think for the south section; 1977 or '78 (?) for the north) |
