Hearing "temporary suspension of service" and "historic trolley line" in the same story obviously is going to put a lump in most MBTA railfans' throats...but I feel better knowing that they're trying to renovate Mattapan and the intermediate stations as well.

It might also make sense during the time off to haul a pole-equipped Boeing down to Mattapan yard and at least test the feasibility of running them down there in a few years (one test car at a time won't kill the bridges or power), so we at least know if there are options when the PCC's are finally done.
