Old Green Line trolleys never die, they get shipped to Colorado

Old Green Line trolley on the tracks again

The T recently donated two old Boeing-Vertol trolleys to the TSA's Surface Transportation Security Training Center in Pueblo, CO, where the agency is now planning to build an entire mock subway station to train federal, state and local police on dealing with train-related emergencies.

MBTA spokesman Joe Pesaturo says the trolleys were shipped to Denver via rail - on flatbed cars, rather than under their own power.

This Amtrak train is delayed due to a disable green line train. Wait... What?

Where is that from? Is that in CO or MA?

adamg, is the photo credit for the main post the same as the one in your comment?

It doesn't have anything attached to it, either as part of the uncropped image or as attached image info - Joe Pesaturo just e-mailed me the two. I can ask him if you like. Also let me know if you want the original, uncropped version of the first photo - it shows both trolleys on flatbeds.

adamg, thanks for the reply. I just wanted to follow the credit to the owner's site. There's usually other cool photos to be found. JP

Really? didn't we extend the GReen Line catenary lines to Denver during the Big Dig construction?

We probably could have.
