Remarks & Notes 
Sometimes you have to get out and dig! MBTA trolley snowplow 5138 and its crew work to clear the Beacon Street line (now the MBTA C Line) in Brookline, MA, during a February 1969 blizzard that deposited two feet of snow. One of the crew has brought his own camera to record the action. Plow 5138, built in 1908 as a city car for the Boston Elevated Railway and later converted, was already 61 years old. This ancient machine is now at the Seashore Trolley Museum in Maine.

The MBTA is very dear to me. The first trains I ever rode as a toddle to teenager were those of the "T" Here is a collection of MBTA Subway and trolley I have found on RP from the 60's thru today.
