 There are also Red, Blue and Orange T Lines, operated by London Underground style subway trains, as this Red Line demonstrates. MBTA also operates a wider area conventional rail service. This Red Line is seen in 1998, similar trains operate on the Orange Line. Cars were built by Pullman-Standard, UTDC and - most recently - by Bombardier. |
 |
 The Blue Line trains are more like trains than subway cars. They were built by Siemens and use both overhead and third rail pickup. Trains 0725 and 0785 re seen at revere Beach Station, one stop before the end of the line in August 2010. |

 Kept on a siding in the gloom of Boylston Station in the heart of downtown, is preserved Boston Elevated Railway PCC streetcar 3295. |
 Joining the PCC is 5734, a 1924 Brill car with body built to Boston Elevated Railway's Type 5 design. The Type 5 semiconvertible has the Boston front and the inward taper from window sills to roof, but in most other details it resembles other cars of this period. The car is on long term lone from the Seashore Trolley Museum at Kennebunkport, who have owned it since 1959. |
 Greeting arrivals at Andrews Square is this delightful mural of the streetcar terminus of old. |
