That video was a treat. I can recall the old Trackless Trolleys in the Jamaica Plain area, but not those old track cars.

I am not an East Boston or north Boston person, but I do recall riding the old train (now Blue Line) with the steering wheel thing on some of them. I got to steer the train once or twice.

Somewhere along that Route, the trains had to stop and switch over to Third Rail from trolley service.

These younger generations will never know the excitement of traveling to Revere Beach by the MTA and riding the double Ferris Wheel or the Roller Coaster there.

Yes! Paragon Park! In case you’re interested, the old Paragon park roller coaster was moved, and it’s still up and running at Six Flags in Baltimore.
