On a PCC car
Title:  On a PCC car
Description:  Dad went to Boston for a meeting of a pulp and paper industry trade group in October of 1973, and used MBTA to get around. They were still using PCC cars at the time-as they would for a few more decades. This is an interior view of a car on the Green Line.

Title:  Closed up and rolling
Description:  The car dad just got off has closed up, and will be rolling out momentarily. Streetcars on surface lines were pretty common. Seeing them in the subway was odd.
