On Wednesday I had a chance to ride the Green line to Hynes/ICA for a convention. I had not been in the subway S. of Park for a while (last century).
At Boylston I noticed there were 2 cars sitting on the inbouind side, the unused track that used to lead to the Tremont St. line years ago, behind fence. They appeared to be a Type 5 and a Picture Window PCC car.
Anyone know what these cars are there for - Is the MBTA planning a subway museum like NY has? Or are they just being stored for later movement to a museum like Seashore?
PS - a good ride both ways from North Station to Hynes. Got a type 7 with non-working destination sign at NS, turned out to be an E, so changed to a B line type 8 at Govt Center, which stayed on the rails OK . Don't care for the seating on the 8, the transverse seating on the 7 more comfortable (and better for railfan viewing).
