Grafton & Upton Railroad express motor 0213 in Hopedale yards. Purchased in 1930 from Worcester Consolidated Street Railway. Used a great deal for hauling hats from Upton to the Boston & Albany at Grafton.
Closed single truck passenger car #97. This appears to be a photo taken when the car was built and before delivery to the Milford and Uxbridge.
Double truck closed passenger car in Framingham. This type of car held down most of the runs before the delivery of the lightweight cars in 1923.
Old postcard view of double truck passenger car on private right-of-way between Soward Street, Hopedale and North Avenue, Mendon. The photo location is in Hopedale. Some of this right-of-way is still visible. The message reads, "What would we do if it were not for these cars going by. Mar. 30, 1907. C.F. Briggs."
Repair car somewhere out on the line. Note raised platform at left end of car. This was used to raise employees high enough for work on overhead trolley wires. It is in the days before safety regulations as evidenced by lack of protective railings.
Old postcard view of trolleys at Lake Nipmuc Park, Mendon.
Another postcard view of Nipmuc Park.
Thanks to Robert Heglund for the photos and captions.
