Foster Palmer's Boston Trolleys: "A" Green Line, Watertown to Subway Trolley

The 69 trolley from Watertown to the Subway via Newton Corner, Brighton and Allston. Now the 57 bus.

In 1967, the remaining trolley lines were given letters. The Watertown Line became the "A" Branch of the Green Line. Foster Palmer (seen at the end of the video in the year 1997) shot these videos in the 1950s before this line became referred to as the "A" Line.
