1948! I recall Dad bringing me on the shuttle, a camelback on the west end, pulling a coach. On the return trip, the conductor on the coach platform used an air hose to signal to the engineer. We got off at Jackson Avenue and climbed to the street to catch a trolley. Now, HBLR is at street level with crossing gates.
