Plus it was built in ROW of the former Boston Revere Beach & Lynn Railroad, a 3-Foot gauge line that electrified in the 1920's with 600 Volts DC overhead trolley using trolley poles. It was abandoned in 1940.Several of the open platform cars were equipped with roller bearings, one, a trailer survives on the East Broad Top Railroad. It still has the 600 Volt jumper sockets on the platform roof to this day. The line in several places is less than a half mile from the Atlantic Ocean. |
