Watertown's Green Line woes 

I always wondered what happened to the Green Line's "A" line. Well boy could I have used it when I was working in Watertown--as it used to head straight into Watertown Square. You can read all about it on Wikipedia. Why did it close down? Because the government forced the MBTA to deal with American contractors who had no idea how to build a trolley, because the auto companies did a damn good job of killing all forms of passenger rail and the aero companies, well, what the hell are they supposed to know about building light rail vehicles?
